Bears

Wildlife Science Center, based in Stacy, has been a sanctuary for animals likes wolves and bears for years now.

The Minnesota Fish and Wildlife page on Facebook is warning drivers of an increased risk of seeing bears on the road this time of year.

The Vikings improved to 4-1 after posting a 29-22 win at home over the Chicago Bears Sunday. The win was secured when Vikings defensive back Cameron Dantzler took the ball away from Chicago receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette. Smith-Marsette was cut by the Vikings just over a month ago and picked up by the Bears.

The Vikings rallied from a 14-3 halftime deficit to the Chicago Bears Sunday to win 31-17 at U.S. Bank Stadium to close the season 8-9. Kirk Cousins threw for 250 yards and 3 touchdowns without an interception.

The walleye fishing opener was last Saturday in Minnesota. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON Thursday. He says the opener wasn't as good for fishing as past openers in large part due to the weather. The DNR says fishing license sales are up this year by 5% from last year despite the high popularity of fishing last year due to the pandemic.

The Vikings lost to the Bears 33-27 Sunday to fall to 6-8 on the season. The Timberwolves begin the 2020-2021 season Wednesday night at 7pm against Detroit, pregame on WJON at 6:30. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me Monday and Tuesday on WJON.

The Vikings beat the Bears in Chicago 19-13 Monday night. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

The Vikings knocked out Bears' starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in the 1st quarter but backup Chase Daniel threw for 195 yards and a touchdown to lift Chicago to the win.

The Vikings could move into a first place tie Sunday if they beat the Bears in Chicago. That became possible after Green Bay lost at home to Philadelphia Thursday night. Detroit would need to lose at home against Kansas City for that to become possible too.
