Im from central MO probably an hour or more away from where your talking about, the hunting slowed down a little after rifle season, but if youve got land that hasnt been hunted much it should be good. Congrats on buying the new place, you will enjoy it. Buy the way if you need does thinned on your places, let me know Im wanting to get in on a little anterless season hunting,lol. Ive heard that there are a lot of deer all around the Lake of the Ozarks area, and the Truman Lake area, but more around Truman.
