“The man or beast that I run from ain’t been born, and its mama’s already dead!”

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the steel-plated ethos of a one Carl Moore — a 73-year-old former Recon Marine and Sacramento, California area resident and devoutly faithful dog owner who says (quite colorfully in the video above) that he punched a real, full-grown, man-eating bear in the face for posing a threat to his beloved pooch.

Watch the clip. You won’t regret it.

For the record, Carl said the bear was a “jerk”. Just in case anyone was beginning to think that Carl was being a bully or anything.

Also there was a witness, so don’t even try to call Carl a liar. Don’t.
