Hunters Bag 322 Bear In State
A count of Game Commission Big Game Tags reveals that hunters bagged 322 bears in Virginia during the 1970 hunting season, reports Game Division Chief, R. H. Cross. Of that total, 12 were taken in the Dismal Swamp. A spotty mast crop with severe failures in some areas had led to predictions of a poor to mediocre bear season. The 322 total is considerably above the average. Bears apparently moved widely down the east slope of the Blue Ridge as evidenced by 3 killed in Buckingham County and 1 bagged in Spotsylvania County.
