That was until a male black bear came through his kitchen window in the middle of the night. The commotion woke up Norman and his wife, Lois.
“As soon as he seen me, well that was it,” Norman told the National Post. “He meant business. He roared — oh boy!”
When the bear stood on his hind legs, his head nearly touched the living room ceiling.
During the 20-minute altercation, Norman punched the bear several times in the nose while receiving a few jabs in return.
Luckily, he managed to open the front door during the altercation and the bear eventually found his way out.
He was taken to the hospital in Bracebridge where he became a celebrity among the staff for fighting a bear with his fists.
