Tail end of turkey season

My wife’s cousin, Mike O’Neil, and I came across this fresh bear print while out turkey hunting this morning. It’s from a farm on the James River in Goochland County. It was probably 6-7 inches, toe to heel. It was one of a couple we saw, but we never made contact with the burly critter that created it. That would have been quite a site! We also heard plenty of gobbling from a Tom or two, and flushed a hen, but never got a shot at a Tom.
The turkey season ends Saturday at sundown.

I’ve heard the James supports a small colony of monkeys along its banks in Goochland. Maybe this really is a monkey print!
As for rule No. 71, I can’t imagine anyone uncoordinated enough to do that, though it sounds like you’re spoeaking from personal experience.

AT - seriously, that’s no bear - probably a turtle or small monkey. Better check your facts buddy. By the way, rule #71 when bowhunting - don’t drop your flashlight from the treestand while it’s still turned on and it’s pitch black in the morning. - MO

AT, not sure that’s a bear. Probably a large turtle or monkey. Better check your facts buddy. By the way, rule number 17 while bow hunting is not to drop your flashlight from the top of your treestand while it is still turned on. - MO
