matchbox Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Anyone have any advice on which Missouri conservation areas would be good for a mid October bowhunt. We're gonna be traveling there and have no idea where to start!? Have done alot of research on the web but not sure of which areas get hunted really hard and where there would be potential to kill a nice buck.

bullfrog00 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Look at the Conservation Areas in Nothern MO www.mdc.mo.gov has a conservation atlas on it that will help you out a lot. Look at Union Ridge or Indian Creek I believe. I haven't hunted them though so I can't verify anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfol20 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have hunted a lot of public land in Missouri. Where about are you going to be? I would say any of the northern public lands would be great. You surely would have your best opportunity for a big buck. Don't overlook the the waterfowl areas. I saw a huge 10pt protecting a doe from another littler (still a decent one) buck while I was glassing the ducks. I would think your best bet for a really big buck is the Army Corp if Engineers land along the Missouri River. They aren't easy to hunt though. Thick vegetation and not great access makes it hard to get into those areas. If you have a boat I would focus on those areas. Good luck let us know how you do.

matchbox Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Haven't decided for sure yet but we're leaning towards NE Missouri. Maybe Union Ridge and surrounding areas or Charlie Heath Memorial. Have also considered Reform in central MO. Any suggestions? How the hunting pressure on the NE areas?
