Get ready to uncover a world where black bears thrive and mountain lions roam secretively. Our journey with Myron takes us deep into bear habitats, unraveling the mysteries of these magnificent creatures.

Strap on your boots as we track the elusive mountain lion through the Arkansas wilderness, debunking myths and shedding light on the actual sightings of these nomadic cats. Myron Means will guide you through verified encounters and the astonishing travels of a mountain lion from South Dakota, making its way to the Arkansas outdoors. Our discussion also touches on the intricate dance of wildlife management, the potential impact of bears on the invasive hog population, and the prospects of a female mountain lion establishing a breeding population within the state.
Join us for a revelatory look at Arkansas's bear hunting regulations and the vital role hunters play in conservation efforts. We'll share expert insights on preparing and savoring bear meat, and the astounding number of hunters participating in bear permit programs, contributing to essential wildlife population modeling. This episode isn't just about wildlife—it's about the intersection of nature and humanity, the challenges and joys of conservation, and the shared efforts to maintain the delicate balance of Arkansas's ecosystem.
