It's easy to take for granted something that's practically in your own backyard, but Illinois really does have a special place that many sadly overlook. Those that have visited it say it's one of America's hidden and underrated national treasures and they're not wrong.
The fact is that the man didn't do anything wrong, but a herd of bison in Missouri didn't care about that. No, when he got close, they decided to chase him and I'm pretty sure he regrets it now.
I have lived near the number one national wildlife refuge in America most of my life and never realized it. According to a new online visitor-voted ranking, the most popular national wildlife refuge in the country is an easy day trip from where I live in Missouri to where it's located in Iowa.
This is one of the many reasons I love living in Missouri. You just never know when you're gonna wake up, look out your windows and see an unbelievable sight. That's what just happened to a tiny Missouri town that suddenly realized they were overtaken by buffalo.
It used to be a common sight, but eventually bison completely disappeared from the grasslands of Illinois. Now, they're back and the iconic American animals run free on the prairies of Illinois and you can see them, too.
Missouri is fortunate to be a state with a lot of parks. Among them all is one that has been named the most under-appreciated in Missouri and it's full of lots of proud bison who don't seem to care how anyone feels about them.
Well, you have to give the scammers some credit. At least they're being very creative in their efforts to rip of law-abiding Missouri people. There's a new campaign underway trying to convince people that the state is about to send buffaloes over to roam their land and no, I'm not making this up.
When most people think of bison, they think of the American West. There's a good reason for that as these massive beasts do call that part of the United States home. But, there's also one place in Missouri where you can also hang out with bison.
Two men went adventuring in the Missouri River near downtown Kansas City recently. Their weekend expedition turned up something completely unexpected - ancient bison fossils from a species believed to be extinct.
