Missouri will not stock bears after Arkansas program
Missouri will not stock black bears after reviewing Arkansas restocking efforts. The state sees occasional bear sightings, mainly in Taney Carter Ozark counties, with 18 cubs found and 12 of 54 reports resulting in killings over ten years. Biologist Frank Sampson notes habitat limits and human impact hinder a healthy Missouri bear population.
