Country Girls can survive!
Reminds me of the young gal jogging (Maine?). She came across a raccoon on the trail. Daytime, and it started coming at her. She knew it must be rabid, and she couldn’t escape. She tossed her earbuds and cell phone down. It lunged at her and she stuck out her arms to try to grab it.
Well, she grabbed it, but it got it’s mouth into her hand. She couldn’t strangle it. But then she noticed her cell phone in a puddle. She got the raccoon’s head under water, still latched onto her hand and drowned it - with it clawing at her the entire time.
Yeah - she had to get the shots.
