LUNENBURG COUNTY, Va. (WTVR)—There are plenty of small black bears spotted in the greater Richmond area, but a bear recently killed by a hunter could take the state record for its size.
A young hunter killed a big black bear in Lunenberg County on Tuesday. CBS 6 traveled to south west to the county to find out how common large bears like this are and why closer to the city bears are becoming a more common sight.
The massive black bear bagged by local DJ Lacks sits in the back of a pickup truck. The 25-year-old brought down the bear with his rifle, shooting it from 75 yards away in the woods of Lunenberg County.
It took all day to remove the bear from the woods.
“This is the first one ever,” said Lacks. “It’s bringing more attention than I want, but it comes with the territory.”

hunting to feed your family is the work of real men, hunting for trophies is the work of imbeciles.
Does that make you feel proud?
I guess you 2 clowns want that huge beast in your yard eating FiFi and your wife at the same time. They only issue limited permits to control the population, they don't just go out there and mow them down.
Sorry 12:34, I may have misundstood your meaning.
THIS is proof that we must have the right to keep and arm bears.
Hunting?? You mean sitting unobserved and downwind and then blasting a .30-.30 round through the chest of a animal that has NO IDEA you are 200 yds away in a heated tree stand ('cause you know, it gets COLD). THAT is hunting?? THAT is sissy ambushing. JUMP outta that tree and kill the animal with a knife or a spear. THAT'S hunting. But,then again, you may NOT get the animal. He MAY get YOU. Its hard to go home and act the tough -guy hunter part when a deer just kicked your ace, though. Stick to ambushing -- just call it what it is.
