82 Year Old Hunter Shoots a Monster Sized Moose

Most women her age entertain themselves with bridge, bingo or the occasional tea dance.

But when 82-year-old grandmother Joyce Herlitzke tried her hand at hunting four years ago, she took to her new hobby with gusto.

And now the sprightly octogenarian has genuinely joined the big guns - when she shot dead a monster moose at 250 yards.

Mrs Herlitzke made the kill with a rifle in the Yukon Territory, Alaska, last month, the La Crosse Tribune reported.

Incredibly the remarkable mother of three had never even picked up a gun before she tried the sport four years ago.

The 78 year old originally took up the hobby as a way to spend time with her husband Paul and her three sons.

But she proved to be a natural, killing a doe in only her second year of hunting. Last year she made the biggest kill in the family- a 12-point buck.

Son Keith, who accompanied his mother on the Alaska trip said: 'That's when I told her it was time to try for something a little bit bigger.'

The span of the moose's antler rack measures an incredible 63-inches, more than five feet.

Herlitzke had been worried she would embarrass herself on the intrepid wilderness hunt.

People who hunt for fun, they are just the psychopaths of society. They get off on killing animals. They don't kill people because they would be in big trouble.

Hunters are a bunch of fucking pussies, they ought to give the animals at least a fighting chance. Fight them barehanded if they think they're so good at killing animals
