I can't speak for St. Joe but I live in rural MO and I wouldn't have it any other way. I know everyone in the town that I live in and if you are going to have children that will help you sleep at night.
As far as the duck hunting, St. Joe would be an awesome place to live. Like MO Waterfowl said Bob Brown and Nodaway valley are great public areas, but also in the Mound City area there are some private duck clubs that you should check into. In my opinion MO is fast becoming one of the top duck hunting states. With the WRP program and MDC's efforts to properly maintain the states public wetlands, we are holding alot of ducks that used to head to AR, LA, TX, etc. Also if you want to snow goose hunt in the spring I don't think there is any place better.
