To be honest this is a bad place to ask this question. The majority of this sun hates Springfield, Missouri, and most of the people living here. I will say your best bet after getting a hunters education is to hunt Missouri conservation land. Most of them only allow black powder, and archery methods. If you’re not familiar with a bow get a crossbow and practice. Archery season will be the best time fit you because there will be less people hunting, and less pressure on the deer. The MDC offers classes every year on hunting, shooting, butchering, and even cooking. If you would rather hunt private ground for free then your best option is to just start knocking on doors, or sending well thought out letters. It’s not easy to get someone to let a stranger on to there property. You can also find a lease, but isn’t usually very cheap. If you have any questions you can DM me and I can try my best to answer them.
