On December 9, a hunting expedition in Lunenburg County, Virginia took a devastating turn when a bear, shot by one of the hunters, fell from a tree and fatally struck another member of the group. The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources confirmed the unfortunate incident, which resulted in the death of Lester C. Harvey, a 58-year-old resident of Phenix, Virginia.
According to the wildlife department, the hunting group was tracking the bear when it sought refuge up a tree. As the hunters backed away from the tree, one of them fired a shot at the bear, causing it to fall and tragically land on Harvey, who was positioned approximately 10 feet away from the base of the tree.
