Some great deer here in Northeast Mo. Check out the Rutledge area for an outfitter. Wish I could tell you his name, but I cant remember right now. Also, around the Kirksville area there is some HS Strut ground that a lot of well known hunters got to. The Drury guys hunt up here, Bill Jordan hunts out there (I met him last year as he was leaving town) and Ralph and Vickie have been there. Dont know if they do much private outfitting, but they could lead you in the right direction. There is a lot of good public hunting ground around too, but I wouldnt recommend that during rifle season.
