Bears

It's no secret that bears are becoming more common in Missouri, but how many official sightings have there really been? I found several maps that show how many and where bears have been spotted in Missouri and they're slightly terrifying.

If you're planning to golf in Illinois soon especially in the southern part of the state, you might want to know that a predator might be watching. Many photos show there's a bear currently touring southern Illinois golf courses.

You have to be careful when you explore caves in Missouri. Someone or something might have found that cave before you and still be inside. That's what happened to a family recently and the sound they heard coming from deep inside a cave was...interesting.

My dad always told me that when you're in the backwoods of Missouri, assume that you're not alone and you'll be right more often than not. Those wise words came true for a Missouri outdoorsman who shared video revealing the moment he suddenly realized he was not alone in the woods.

If you've ever witnessed a black bear in Missouri, you can attest to the fact that they are fascinating and curious creatures. A trail cam learned this the hard way as one of these apex predators took special interest in it and paid the price.

Well, this is an event that is almost certain to get your adrenaline going. A Missouri family shared a harrowing video of the moment they realized their window was full of a hungry bear who was having his way with their bird feeders and interested on what was going on inside the home, too.

When I daydream, this is the kind of place that comes to mind. It's a 178 acre off-the-grid Missouri paradise that includes a hidden cabin in one of the prettiest parts of the Show Me State. Oh, there are probably bears there, too.

We were told by the state of Missouri that we would seen see more bears. That prediction has just come true for one Missouri guy who shared video of this curious apex predator that decided to investigate the trees in his yard.

I sometimes wonder why the state of Missouri issues warnings that should be common sense and this is a great example. Missouri conservation authorities are saying that residents really should stop feeding bears. Well, duh.

Not only is owning a bear dangerous, but it is also expensive when you realize how much they eat.
