There is plenty of ground for you to hunt in that area. Hunting at Fort Leonard Wood is allowed but the military has some hoops they make you jump through. There is a sizable chunk of U.S. Forest Service property in the form of the Mark Twain National Forest around the Fort. I just looked at a map and the forest area there is well over 200,00 acres of public ground. That is where I would be focusing I think, easy access to a good bit of forest ground. Keep an eye out for wild hogs, I think they have some scattered around there and you don't need any special license for them. It's hot here right now, I'd look for water sources. That area is too far north for me to be familiar with first hand but if you can raise Plumbbob he could steer you right.
