| 2024-12-18 | |
| [CBSnews] A Virginia man has died after a bear in a tree shot by one of his hunting partners fell on him, state wildlife officials said. The incident occurred Dec. 9 in Lunenburg County, which is between Richmond and Danville, Virginia's Department of Wildlife Resources said in a statement. Some days you get the bear, some days the bear gets you. A hunting group was following the bear when it ran up the tree, the department said. As the group retreated from the tree, a hunter shot the bear. The animal fell onto another hunter who was standing about 10 feet from the bottom of the tree. The department identified the man as Lester C. Harvey, 58, of Phenix, Virginia. A member of the group rendered first aid before Harvey was rushed to two different hospitals.
An obituary for Harvey, a married father of five with eight grandchildren, said he was a self-employed contractor and avid outdoorsman. His funeral is scheduled for Thursday, according to his obituary. | |

| #9 Gives me the Far Side feelings. Gary Larson is probably talented enough to make this into a comic. |

| #6 "Burg teaching point: Whenever possible, hunt alone." What about the recent incident when a hunter fired once at a bear, had his gun jam and the bear killed him? Another hunter might have saved the day. |

| #4 #1A bear worth shooting is a lot if not way too much to get out of the woods alone. |
