Default Public land in Missouri????

I'm thinking about a trip to MO this coming fall. Looking at the Northeast section of the state, Pike County, Macon, Lewis, etc. Any suggestions from any of the MO guys about some good public bowhunting.... Thanks

I believe it is Macon county that has Atlanta wildlife area. I don't know anything about it other thatn there is several thousand acres there. But you can look it up on the MDC website to get more info.

Go to www.missouriconservation.org and they have a link to their interactive map and area guide. It has proven very helpful to me in the past. You can look at are maps, most of which are topographical so you kinda get a feel for the terrain. I have been hunting public ground in MO with quite a bit of success in the past. Deer hunting is getting better and better on public ground. Just be careful, they all have different regulations. Some allow buck only, with antler point restrictions, some allow buck or doe, some allow only doe....Just read and check it out.
Missouri also has an atlas that has all of the areas in one book. I am not sure where to get it, maybe the website as well.

Good Luck this year. Hope this helps.

Double Creek,

there is some national Guard land in Macon county that always produces some bruisers. If you talk to the conservation guys in Macon county, they should be able to direct you to it. It is very close to College Mound and Excello (two little towns).
