I just moved to Arizona from Kansas city, But I can sure help you get on some birds the two places I highly recommend is Platte falls CA and Smithville lake ton opf hunting land on snithville. Platte falls is great for Dove and ducks not alot of quail and no pheasant is great place for archery deer hunting I've shot several does and a nice 10 point buck there. Smithville is great for dove and all waterfowl has a decent quail population and no pheasants, also you can rifle deer hunt there but I dont recommend it b/c thats where everyone and their brothers hunt not the place to deer hunt unless you dont mind bullets whizzing by your head. For rifle deerhunting I wood try Parma woods CA or Bonanza CA those places are about 1 and a half hours away from kansas city www.missouriconservation.com look on this web site look at there maps and atlas section it will show you where to go. good luck

ah nevermind on the parma woods thats a good rifle range just outside of parkville off of 435 southand 45 highway, I was thinking of Bluff Woods CA. Sorry about that I got them mixed up.
