Bear attacks Va hunter

[hunter24605]

Pretty much the same area, just last week I was going to Danville and one ran across Hwy 58 in Meadows of Dan, and I couldn't help but run her over with the Kenworth.

Protecting her babies, I should expect. Glad the hunter survived, though he has one heckuva souvenir as a reminder of that encounter. I recall having a sow and two cubs walk up on me when I was moose hunting one day. The sow was so surprised that she turned and fled while "woofing" for her babies. I considered myself fortunate, but I was also quite pleased that my scent control was good enough. I could have easily reached out with my 350 Rem Mag and touched either of the cubs.
