66-year-old punches black bear, saves goat

The first of two black bears killed after exhibiting bad behavior at a northern New Mexico Boy Scout ranch in recent days was the recipient of 66-year-old camp historian Henry Ostrander's left hook to the snout before it was shot by the camp manager. When Ostrander discovered the 300-pound bruin attacking a camp goat named Esmeralda, his instincts took over. “The bear had the goat on the ground and, before I knew it, I’d hit it in the nose.” The Taos News.
