Hi all

Looking to come up in 2020 to hunt that Jan for late ML. Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations of a zone to hunt of outfitters to check out? Or, what you would recommend for someone coming up to hunt.

Or, areas or outfitters to stay away from? We are coming from MO.

Thanks for any help or insights and allowing us to attempt to hunt your great state.
 
That’s just it, we’re just looking for general guidance on either public or hunting with an outfitter. We do not have access to private ground so it would either be a southern outfitter in zone 4/5 vs public.

Thoughts on those? Any good reputable outfitters there that come to mind or any to stay away from?

Appreciate all the input
 
Lm is most likely a waste of time on public. It's all about standing food that time of year and you ain't finding that on public ground.
 
I agree with IowaBowHunter, except you will find some standing food, but the deer won't be using it during daylight due to all the pressue they receive during the shotgun and late muzzleloader seasons. If you were to walk the public lands you will find standing food this time of year (at least in this part of the state, a certain percentage of food plots must be left) and find tons of sign and tracks, but during the late muzzleloader season it is 99% nocturnal activity.
