Love to hunt with ya butI'm a little farther north, around the Whiteman Airforce Base area. However your area is great hunting also. The Mark Twain National Forest is a great start. and thats were I would start. Also there should be lots of Corp. ground down around the lakes. Thats all public. I know guy who owns and operates a Marina on Trueman and he bags a hugh turkey every year on opening day. Deer are also abundunt down there. Some of the isolated area's around those lakes are only reachable by boat so the wildlife doesn't get pressured much, good luck! and wellcome to MO. It's a great place to hunt, and fish.
