Nathan "Shags" McLeod joins MDC’s current black bear/furbearer biologist, Nate Bowersock on a black bear trapping expedition for science.

MDC recently updated the Black Bear Management Plan. The updated plan illustrates the multifaceted approach to black bear management within Missouri. This includes using research to inform management decisions, increasing statewide awareness of Missouri’s bear population, and a high priority on minimizing and addressing human-bear conflict as the population grows.   

Topics discussed: science-based methods to manage a self-sustaining population of black bears, research, monitoring, population management, habitat management, statewide awareness of Missouri’s black bear population and management program through coordinated outreach and public education, human-bear conflicts, Yellowstone, wolves, mystery bait bucket and more.
