Bear-hunting season has begun in Missouri. Here's what you need to know
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
This is only the third year in Missouri’s modern history that hunters can get permits to shoot black bears. The species was nearly driven out of the state a century ago, but have rebounded in the last few decades thanks to conservation efforts. The 10-day hunt is capped at 40 bears so it doesn't hurt population growth.
