davidkucharik Report post Posted May 16, 2017 I cant find a more crappy site than the Missouri Conservation site. I cant even find a good "unit map" to tell me what is what.Anyone ever lived/hunted there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metau Report post Posted May 16, 2017 That is because most states back east do not have "units". Regulations are generally statewide, and any special regulations that need geographical boundaries are usually done through a list of counties. A quick read of the general regulations and you will see that the seasons/species are referred to as statewide or county-specific. Missouri is 40% smaller than AZ, yet has 114 counties. And 88% of the state is private land. There is one national forest you can hunt on, plus several hundred Conservation Areas. Otherwise, you will have to gain access to private property. Hope you know someone there or you will likely have to buy a hunting lease. Pretty much anywhere east of the Rocky Mountains is not favorable for public land hunting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dse Report post Posted May 16, 2017 Just spent the last two months in Missouri. Better make some friends that have farms! Most of the conservation areas you can throw a rock from one side to the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I grew up in New York, specifically on Long Island and hunting only happened 3X while I was growing up. Dad always had a second job to make ends meet with five kids so we never had money to go hunting on a lease. In the 60's it still cost $15 a day to hunt State land. But we fished the heck out of the beaches and the marsh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted May 17, 2017 Most states in the midwest manage by county. Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Illinois all have good walk-in areas for deer, pheasant, ducks, turkey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
