Way to go Kelsie

CONGRATULATIONS to Kelsie Wikoff of Hume on her harvest of this 268-pound boar (male bear) in Zone 1 during Missouri’s first bear-hunting season.

She says she had spent 48 hours in a tree stand since the season began on Monday and harvested the bear yesterday.

She is one of nine hunters to harvest a bear so far, and the first female. The season ends Oct. 27 with a total harvest limit of 40 bears.
