California man takes on an intruder and wins.
FOX News Radio’s Chris Foster reports: California Man Punches Bear
Carl Moore was a Marine, a boxer, and a bar bouncer in Texas.
He’s a 73-year-old contractor in Meadow Vista, California now…
(Moore) “I ain’t runnin’ from nothin’! I never have in my whole life and I ain’t gonna start now.”
That includes bears.
One tried to get over a gate, onto Mr. Moore’s deck…
(Moore) “He come up like this, and he turned… BOOM! I hit him hard!”
He says he was trying to protect his dogs and chickens… With three dozen of those eaten in the last three weeks.

I’d say it’s a “man bites dog” story, but...
The bear ate three dozen dogs in the last three weeks?
(sorry, couldn’t resist)
In a remotely related story....
"The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama’s best-selling memoir, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.
“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy),” the president wrote. “Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths.
He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”"

Who was the FReeper who killed a bear with a pocket knife years ago? Kwhanana?
He was born on a mountain top in Tennessee….

Kilt him a b’ar when he was 73.
