I hear ya there. Not sure but I am trying to plan a turkey hunting in missouri. Was there last year with a buddy of mine from Mn (grew up in Mn) If me and the ole man didnt draw Mn tags we drove to missouri to hunt. Man ya'll have a ton of birds....found out last spring just how popular turkey huntin became also. State land was crawlin with people! Private lands were all leased out...all but a 40 acre plot. Guy had darn near 39 acres of fields and one itty bitty small patch of woods...well thats all it took. First day we were there my bud hammered a nice tom. We called from sunup till 1 and couldnt get any more toms to come over and join the party..oh well. We hunted by Kirksville...Was wondering where St Joseph is in relation? Also went to Basic at Ft Leonardwood....dont ask me where I was at LOL! I dont even remember going through the front gate!
