Black Bear Seen Killing Deer South of Gentry

On August 24th, Penny Woods took a film, on YouTube, of a black bear chasing and killing a buck deer in a lake south of Gentry. In 2010, a black bear was spotted between Hopkins and Pickering, while in 2011, a black bear was spotted on the Gentry/Harrison County Line between Albany and New Hampton.

The Missouri Department of Conservation reports that although black bears are native to Missouri and were nearly wiped out during settlement, they are attempting to make a comeback in Missouri. If you see one, contact the Missouri Department of Conservation.
