This NH Dad is our Bad-Ass of the Day!

He and his family were hiking when a coyote attacked his 2 year old son, dragging him by his coat. Dad sprung into action, confronting the animal with his bare hands.

He told WCVB Channel 5 what happened next  (and we’ve bolded the words that put him into Bad-ass status.)

“I was able to get its head into the snow and get my hand around its snout so it could no longer bite,” he said. “From there, I was able to suffocate it by using my body weight and scissor-locking it into, basically, expiring slowly. It took about 10 minutes, unfortunately, which is a lot longer than I anticipated.”

Wow.  Just wow.
