Anyone know of any good public lands for hunting in missouri? Most of the ones around me (southwest missouri) are really really pressured, infact, ive not been able to find any location in them that doesnt have a stand or camera or some sort of human presence. Also, if i can find a good spot mid state of higher, that would be awesome.
 
Missouri=pressured unless you ask people from somewhere else.

In all seriousness asking this on a public forum is far and away the best way to blow up a potential new spot for yourself or a spot someone else has. Ive hunted public my entire life off and on the best you can hope for is to catch a spot in a down cycle for the year.

Never know unless you ask. And would the woods full of saddle hunters be a bad thing? Haha or maybe im trying to get everyone to go there so my spots down here will be less pressured haha
 
I've hunted public lands exclusively in Missouri for last 20 years, it's all pressured. Early season you may find it a little better but after early Oct it really gets hit, especially the northern counties. Thing with most of Missouri's public they have access points every 3/4 mile so it makes it difficult to get away.
 
Yup, just got both. Platform this week and saddle right before Christmas. Running a trophyline with a podium platform. Yourself?
 
Havent got the saddle yet. Platform i got a few weeks ago. Got it all painted up and ready for the hunt. I had ordered the mantis, and a few days later the phantom was announced. So i cancelled it and am waiting for the phantom. Figured it would be better for a beginner
 
What platform you go with
? My buddy just got a mantis, he likes it we both have only sit in our saddles a few times. He has the mantis with predator platform. He lives in republic
 
You guys should look around for saddle meetups around your area. I've seen a few pop up on here recently...those REALLY cut down the learning curve and let you try everything before you go all-in.
