black bears

Missouri has just issued stern warnings about black bears who are now fully awake from their winters nap.

If you've seen friends sharing a picture claiming to prove that black bears have taken over a Missouri highway, they haven't.

There's nothing to see here. That seems to be what a bear in southern Missouri was trying to tell a man who shared video of the animal pretending it's completely innocent next to a tree he's about to devour.

A bowhunter in Missouri suddenly realized he wasn't the only hunter in the backwoods.

It's about to become much more dangerous to be a bear in Missouri as 400 residents will soon head to the woods to help control their population.

If you're in the Missouri outdoors often enough, this kind of encounter is bound to happen.

Things are done differently in Missouri and I mean that as a good thing. However, there was this time when a Missouri guy saw a big bear cross a trail in front of him and his response was...different than what I probably would have done as he decided to capture video and chat with the animal.

This is why you pay close attention to tracks when you're out and about in the Missouri woods. A trail cam in the Show Me State got an up close and personal moment from a black bear who didn't know he was supposed to be hibernating.

It's no revelation that the black bear population is growing in Missouri, but will the population of these predators ever expand to the northern parts of the state? A new map share says yes and it's already begun.

The results are in, how many black bears were harvested during Bear Hunting season in the Show-Me State this year...?
