Big Black Bears On Path To Texas (Video)

The big increase in bear sightings across my native state of Texas inspired Higher Calling Wildlife to focus heavily on black bears throughout 2020.

In the podcast we did with Stephen F. Austin University officials, we learned in the eastern third of Texas, the best migrational routes in terms of undisturbed habitat for bears to preoccupy Texas comes from Oklahoma.

My close friend and research partner Todd Jurasek got some incredible game camera videos of black bears in the Kiamichi Mountains in Southeastern Oklahoma, showing the Sooner State has a burgeoning bear population in some areas.

And that’s not the only place black bears are moving into Texas. Joseph Belcher and his uncle Sherman Pierce submitted this video of a black bear on Lake Falcon crossing from Mexico to the Texas side.

People in states that have had large bear populations for decades like Oregon, Montana, and Alaska understand these animals but all forest-loving Americans need to become bear aware and realize these apex animals are increasing in the southern and eastern portions of the country.

Enjoy these awesome clips from Oklahoma in the region of bear migration into Texas.
