Boonville #33, Lebanon #93, Kirksville #124 Springfield #155, Rolla #157

Kirksville was #14 on the best towns for whitetail hunting. ......

Not to bad I'd say, considering that Missouri doesn't really have as many natural resources as many states. I'll chalk it up to the MDC, but I know some will disagree.

I guess not having much upland bird action in the southern part of the state drops us, but the Turkey hunting is second to none. As far as fishing goes, what more could you ask besides saltwater or maybe Steelhead/Salmon like the great lakes have.

These are "filler articles", anytime you rank stuff you're bound to get people fired up, but what does it really mean. Not a darn thing.

I kind of did think that Rolla and Springfield got short changed. Both of those towns are right in the middle of trout and bass fishing paradise, as well as pretty good whitetail hunting, and world class turkey hunting. Oh well. I do have kind of a hard time believing Booneville and Kirksville ranked higher than either of these towns though. Fishing opportunities aren't nearly as good there as Rolla or Springfield, and although some would disagree, I even like to hunt more in the southern part of the state than the Northern section. Not as much upland game or big bucks, but Mark Twain National Forest more than makes up for that.
