To protect himself from an attacking cow, 70-year-old Oscar Wilcox shot the animal in the face with a .22 caliber pistol. When that didn't stop the onslaught, the Florida rancher's wife hit the cow several times with her truck to get it off of her husband. But even that didn't stop the "unkillable" bovine:

When that didn't work, she opened fire with the pistol that Wilcox had dropped in the encounter.

The crossbred cow, which sported 12 to 18-inch horns, was shot several times in the face, according to a police report. It was finally contained in the pasture.

"(Wilcox’s wife) stated that the cow has always been nasty and had attacked her about a week ago causing bruises," the report states.
