A 56-year-old farmer has become a hero in her Russian province after she beat an attacking wolf to death with her ax.

MAKHACHKALA, Russia — Beware of 56-year-old Russian women with axes.

A lone wolf attacked Aishat Maksudova outside her sister's home in Russia's province of Dagestan in the North Caucasus Mountains.

The animal bit the farmer on her arm and her leg and she fell to the ground, crying out for help from other villagers. No one was in earshot. So she reached for an ax she had brought along to repair a fence, and with remarkable aplomb, she hit the wolf over the head several times until his teeth unclenched.

The wolf later died.

Maksudova has become a hero in the Caspian Sea province that lies east of Chechnya. She was still being treated for her wounds Tuesday at a local hospital after last week's incident. Doctors said she is recuperating well.

on a similar note.  my dad used to tell us stories of walking to and from school or church how wolves would follow them, they were attacked a couple times,  but nothing seriouse, just a dead wolf afterwards.  my grandpa killed one with an ax when it attacked him.  lots of dogs that weere killed right in their yard.  they used to have a dog that killed sveral wolves in their yard, but one nite it dissapeared.
