The incident occurred Dec. 9 in Lunenburg County, which is between Richmond and Danville, Virginia’s Department of Wildlife Resources said in a statement.

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 [the victim] who was standing about 10 feet (3 meters) 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.

Killed by a bear.

Mauled to death?

No, falled to death.

“Good.”

Why are you saying good?

[dfwgator]

Two birds with one shot?

“Good.”

What’s good? Are you a libtard celebrating the death of a hunter? I suppose you cheer on cowardly shooting CEO’s in the back.

Who shoots a bear in a tree?

When he was just a boy, a traveling psychic gypsy predicted to his mother: “this boy must beware of bears falling from the sky.”

....and everybody laughed.

Can’t tell the difference between a bear and a squirrel.

It was a grizzly death. The other hunters could not bear to look. Even first responders had to paws. They had to claw the bear off the victim.

I’m a conservative who doesn’t like killing. Are you a bigot that you can’t imagine people who don’t have your exact opinions?
