Depends on what you are hunting....if you get in with some land owners you can have a helluva deer hunt in No. Mo. or No. KS if you are a deer hunter. Granted if you are coming from MN you might be down grading, but you still have plenty to hunt. I'm in Lincoln, NE and am 2.5 hrs from KC, but I hunt SE Nebraska and love it. Tons of predator, deer, pheasant, some quail, dove, etc.
