I will say tho the Missouri department of conservation is pretty good about what they do. We have tons of public land that you are able to hunt. If you get on the web site and look around the area for conservation areas you can pick one and take a little walk in the woods to find a spot. But I would recommend putting in the research on laws and practices first.

Edit to mention: don’t be that guy taking your walk in the woods during season. Find your areas before hand and make sure you are wearing your hunters orange, public land can be a little sketchy so make your presence known to others in the area
