Might get by shooting coyotes and wild hogs, but I bet that's about as far as the State of Missouri would allow and I imagine there's enough bow hunters that would do what the could to stop them for being legal to use on any animals outside of a managed high-fence harvest zone. Dang sure ain't hunting in those circumstances where there's not real escape into the next county! The shot-filled might get a pass, but not a centerfire round on an arrow. Just my think'n.
