While out hunting near Kodiak, Alaska, in 1999, the nearly 70-year-old Moe was ambushed by a 750-pound female grizzly. His rifle was out of reach, and the only other weapon Moe had on him was a Model 110 Buck knife. The bear, for the record, has about four of those on each paw. Clearly, the bear was feeling pretty good about its odds: It charged and bit off a chunk of Moes right arm, hurled him to the ground, then moved in for the kill. Moe wasnt done yet, though. He got to his feet and bobbed and weaved between the swings like a boxer, losing only half an ear in the process (hey, half an ear is pretty good on the mauled by a grizzly curve). Seeing he was making no progress in his game of grizzly bear rope-a-dope, Moe fought every instinct and rational thought in him, and charged. He ducked within stabbing range, and figured since he was already there, he may as well get some stabbing in. He knifed the animal in the neck, which managed to slow it down a bit, but cost Moe a healthy portion of leg-meat. The bear charged again, so Moe figured if youre gonna go out, you may as well go out swinging. Literally -- he channeled all his strength into his left arm and threw a final punch at the grizzly as it came running at him full speed. He hit it below the eye. The momentum paralyzed Moes arm, but you should have seen the other guy, which was a girl, and also a bear, and also now dead. As a precaution, Moe shot it twice with his rifle before he crawled two miles to get help, and to tell the guys at the bar that he just found out hes Wolverine.
