It's "alternative methods" deer season in Missouri, and this cougar knows claws count. A video posted to X by a Morgan County man shows a mountain lion chasing a buck through a creek. The time stamp indicates the video was shot earlier this week. The man, Mervin Shirk, says the...
Crab legs used to be a regular sight at Chinese buffets across Missouri, and then many of them quietly vanished from the steam tables. The good news is that a handful of spots still pile them on, sometimes every day and sometimes only on certain nights. This list covers seven...
A mid-Missouri trail camera captured a mountain lion chasing a deer across a creek bed just days ago.
Missouri woods offer wonderful walks with your dog, especially when cooler weather brings fresh scents and colorful leaves. Hunting season adds a few things to plan around, but simple habits can help you share outdoor spaces safely. Before grabbing the leash, check where hunting is allowed and choose a route...
Thirty bison arrived from preserves in South Dakota and Iowa in 2011, and now more than 200 roam Dunn Ranch Prairie. Yep, more than 200. I’ll admit, that number made me look twice. The land under their hooves is just as wild. Over 1,000 acres of the original purchase...

Missouri has a craft beer scene that deserves more attention. And the latest Missouri Beer Cup winners give us plenty of reasons to take a closer look. The Missouri Craft Brewers Guild has announced the results of its second annual statewide competition, with 30 breweries submitting 226 beers across 25 judged categories.

There’s no greater slice of Americana on a plate than a piece of pie, and some of the best pie shops in Missouri serve up treats that celebrate the culinary traditions of the Show Me […]
A three-story mill built in 1848 still grinds grain with creek power on select Saturdays. Its frame sits on hand-hewn, pegged timbers, and some of its limestone foundation holds up without mortar. I love that detail. Those old builders stacked rock so well that it has outlasted floods, a lost...
Wyoming, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and Hawaii have 2027 target dates for SNAP soda and candy limits, according to USDA's food restriction waiver list.
COLUMBIA — Missouri's deer population has experienced a serious threat from chronic wasting disease (CWD).

From the editor: KC Bier Co. built its name on traditional German-style bier, so the funny part of this Missouri haul is that two of the golds went to an American IPA and a Belgian tripel. Add a GABF gold for Winterbock a few weeks ago, and Kansas City has a legit lager destination on its hands.
Missouri-based Post Game Pizza has opened its fourth restaurant, expanding into Springfield in July 2026, as the family-owned brand continues to grow across southwest Missouri.

A tiny gold ornament shaped like Missouri’s first state capitol building sits on a shelf here, plated in 24K gold. That’s the kind of keepsake this little shop treats as normal. The shelves also hold hand-painted glass from Christopher Radko and Old World Christmas. I like how one...
