Check out the MO Dept of Conservation website for details on public hunting areas. Don't overlook the Fish and Wildlife areas either. If you have a boat, I would hunt one of the state's lakes with COE land surrounding it. Boat access willput you out of reach of walk in hunters. North of the MO River is traditionally the best for quality bucks, but they can and do come from all areas of the state, minus the bootheel. There will be nice deer on any of the bow only areas, but they are not gonna be "everywhere" as someone else said.
