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.

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.

If you ask a wildlife official from Missouri if the state has wolves, you're likely to get an interesting response. The official comment is no, but the long answer is a lot more complicated when it comes to wolves in Missouri.

There are many that believe that wolves have been given an undeserved bad name in the animal kingdom. There's a center near St. Louis that tries to help protect endangered wolves from being completely eliminated.
