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.
