Where I live in Missouri We own 105 Acres of Private Land....then there's lots of Public Forest Land (Mark Twain National Forest) that We can Hunt on and its only 4-miles from my House There's also lots of Public Conservation Land that is available to Us that the Conservation Agency plants several Acres of different Food Plots on for the Turkey,Quail and Deer that We can Hunt and even those Out of State can buy a Non-resident Tag and Hunt the same Public Land as Us.

There are several Private Land Owners that have Land that butts up against Public Land and can Hunt Thier Property and even use the Public Land that joins theirs giving them a much larger area to Hunt.I know of a few Public Hunting Properties that have Private Hunting noLand in the middle of them and I'm sure there is a few that may actually have Private Hunting Cabins on them too?

Come,to think of it....I've seen some Public Land sectioned off and sold to Private Individuals where they have built Houses or Cabins then the Missouri Dept of Conservation buys other Property they are more interested in and have developed it and opened it up to the Public.

We are Pretty Spoiled Here in Missouri....our Conservation Agency let's Us Hunt Public Land all over Missouri We can take the Hunter Safety Courses free of charge and We have many State Parks we can Camp at for reasonable prices and some of those allow Hunting too!

All our Hunting,Fishing License and other Fee's go to maintaining our State Parks,Public Hunting Lands and many other Projects to Conserve Wild Life and even to intruduce Younger Hunters to Archery,Fishing and Deer Hunting etc!
