When I last lived in MO the growers were still a problem in the southern
forests.

There are still interesting problems in the Ozarks, even when "growers" are
not involved (I think the term belongs in quotes, they're not growing
cabbages).

I remember reading a couple of years ago that there were reports of a tiger
being seen in the forests in Cleburne County, Arkansas, which is the county
that the Greer Ferry Tailwater of the Little Red River runs.

The local authorities took a few days to decide that the reports were real,
and ultimately decided on a sporting solution to the problem. They opened
up a one day tiger hunting season in the county. The tiger was quickly
brought down, creating a new record category for hunting: Arkansas Tiger.
