I've seen a lot of mushrooms and even some big ones, but never one as ginormous as a Missourian just found in the woods.

When Rich Porter of Omaha, Nebraska went fishing on the Lake at the Ozarks he never would have guessed on catching a record-breaking size fish.

Bears are a protected species in Missouri even though there is an official hunting season now. This is not that season, yet a bear was recently shot and killed in Washington County, Missouri.

We know that the bear population in Missouri is increasing, but it's a big state and hard to keep track of exactly where the bears are. Thanks to a helpful Missouri map, now you can keep track of the sightings of these apex predators.

Now, this is one big fish.

Don't ever do what this hunter did. He was calling in coyotes, but got a badger instead and proceeded to pick him up barehanded.

There is something to say about a 99-year old man who still goes hunting to this day, and he caught himself a big buck this deer season.

Bears have been a hot topic in Missouri lately. I came across a video showing a project the state of Missouri started over 7 years ago regarding black bears in the state. Whatever became of that study? Let's find out.

State conservation officials are calling this first Missouri black bear hunting season a "growling" success.

The Missouri Department of Conservation wants to go the extra mile to make sure that youth that want to learn to hunt have that chance especially if they suffer from a chronic or terminal illness. They have a hunting clinic that will be happening this October.
