Q:
What are some colleges that are great for a hunter like me? They got to have classes that deal with wildlife and what not. Are there any in Missouri?

PennState! great deer, bear and turkey hunting, plus great trout fishing.
I don't know about Missouri, but Virginia Tech offers many undergrad programs in outdoor related programs including wildlife sciences. It is also located in Blacksburg, VA. close to national forest land for hunting.
I am going to Penn College of Technology, branch of Penn State :) , like steve said, great deer, bear and turkey, great trout. Our archery team is like the best in the nation as well.
Mizzou's conservation program is pretty good, they've got a wide range of classes offered that are geared towards wildlife conservation and forestry. Give that a look ... If your already in Missouri, it'd be nice to pay in state tuition as well. Trust me. Been there, done that.
Fayetteville, Arkansas (or a town right next to it) was listed by Field & Stream as the best city in the U.S. for sportsmen. The University of Arkansas-Fayetteville is located there. I am not sure what there undergrad program is like, but I imagine there would be a lot of courses to interest you.
You should be a wildlife biologist. Im sure Penn state has something to offer.
Greenhead, let me know where you found that info about Fayetteville, I live about 2 hours away near Russellville. I plan on going to Arkansas Tech in Russellville which offers Fisheries and Wildlife Biology for Bachelors and Masters. I have done research and the only schools in Arkansas that offer any Wildlife related degree is Arkansas Tech and Arkansas State in Jonesboro.
There is even a fraternity at Penn State, Tau Phi Delta, that is dedicated to promoting the outdoors. One of the mags ran an article on them during a bear hunt a ways back. GREAT school, too.
Uninversity of WI-Green Bay almost went there right after high school. Be a good area, lots of hunting land and Lake Michgan right there to do some fishing.
Paul Smith's College - way up in the Adirondacks. Very outdoors oriented college, more so than any other I can think of.
Montana State is very much worth a look too. Very wildlife/bio oriented, and right in the wild, just north of YNP.
Basically this place is fantasy land.
Gallatin, Beartooth, Absaroka - legendary mountains.
Mountain goats, sheep, elk, pronghorns, muleys, moose, wolves, grizzly, wolverines, you name it all running around not far away.
The Northwest Missouri State University - Maryville!!!!!!
They offer degree on Wildlife and Wildlands Science and Management.........

The two I was thinking of were both mentioned. VA Tech and Penn State. Both have great public hunting and fishing close by that is very good. Only downfall is that both states do not have sunday hunting. Another plus is both have great football teams
Hocking college in Nelsonville OH cheap and a highly rated school for their biology and right smack dab in the middle of wayne national forest look it up
Thank you very much folks.

1 Penn State
2 Clemson
3 Cornell

5 Michigan State

8 Univ of Idaho
