It struck me as odd that some responses make it sound like hunters were illegally shooting at bears, and nobody seemed to address whether it was hunting season.
No it doesn’t mean much to me. Just marking time on Free Republic.
No, they do not care if it was a legal hunt (BTW yes it was) or poachers. Two legs bad, four legs good!
Sadly a bunch of people who have never been outside a carefully structured and protected environment tend to opine from their artificial ivory towers. Weeping sad little tears for the poor wittle (Fill in what ever non human thing they are upset about here) while they are only alive because there are people out on planet reality doing actual work. Yes, they even post on FR.
Just to answer the question - yes, it’s legal to hunt bear in most counties in Virginia in December. The season ends January 4th.
