bkbying89 292 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Did anyone else see the news about bears being in JEFFCO. Bill Daryk Campbell Sr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tjm 920 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Poachers have killed bears there in the past, so how is another one news worthy? is it in town or did it attack someone? As the bear herd grows to huntable numbers the sightings will grow more frequent, no doubt. But in some parts we have always had bear sightings and occasional depredation of live stock. not really a big deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daryk Campbell Sr 1,637 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I am not worried by them. Live smartly, teach your kids to leave wild animals alone. They will go their own way.

This is news to me and probably most of the people I know including my family that has lived in Jefferson County for the last fifty years. I know the State has been trying to keep the lid on the fact that the bear population has been growing and expanding in Missouri but I didn't realize that they were doing such a good job. The bear in the story has been getting into trash cans in the Arnold area. On a side note, a friend from church showed me a picture of a mountain lion taken recently in the Moscow Mills area taken by his daughter at her farm. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

timinmo 327 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Well the moving fur coat was in Barnhart last night. One of my neighbors took pictures. I was hoping to feed it my S-I-L's little dog but got no cooperation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
