Each hunter joins as an individual and is accountable for his actions.
We will allow those that want to pay for their membership with company checks to do so. However, the name on the membership will be the individual we interviewed.
We do allow for current members to pay for another individual's membership. An example would be a father purchasing one for his son. Or, a business partner for another. In all cases the hunter purchasing such a membership will be that person's sponsor. This means the member will forever have his name tagged to that whom he sponsors into the Association. The benefits and consequences of this include those that sponsor good hunters into the Association retain that privilege. This is important during closed membership periods when the only possible means into the Association is by sponsorship.
The consequences of sponsorship include that if the person sponsored into the Association conducts a rules violation that person who did sponsor that individual will indefinitely loose his privilege of sponsoring any other into the Association.

Several non-residents make the summer time a chance for combination scouting and fishing trip or as a combination family vacation to Branson or Silver Dollar City and a fishing trip. Make family time more than just a tourist attraction activity. There is a lot more talking while fishing than at any ride or show at Branson
Missouri.
The payoff is more than what is seen in these photos. The memories forever and the fact of being out doors several days rather than inside makes for a better attitude every day. That can only be achieved on self guided hunts for the do it yourself hunter. That is the sole membership available through Mid-America Hunting Association.
