Family Advantage

Fathers and sons, husbands and wives and the lucky parents of hunting daughters may all enjoy each others company without any of the public lands hunter mentality.

Always good to have along another to take the pictures.
Family memberships are limited to those that live in the same home, are listed on the same tax return as either the head of the household or his/her dependents. The child dependent must be under 22 years of age and in college or under 19 in high school. Spouses qualify for family memberships. Exceptions are limited to adult guardians of juveniles other than those they brought into this world. Proof of guardianship must be provided.
Child family members must hunt under control of the parent member on the same numbered/lettered farm.
All fully functioning adult humans must join as individual members.
See our Cost page for pricing discounts for family members. The Association has always been a family organization with spouses and children admitted at a discount that ensures continuation of family fun.
Non-hunting spouses and his or her children not yet old enough to hunt may accompany the Association member on his/her hunts without being enrolled on a family membership. This includes when the child is in the BB gun stage of training. It is always good to see non-hunting spouses enjoying the day a field caring for the dogs, cleaning the game and washing out the truck.
Once children become of age to harvest game then the member must upgrade to a family membership. The upgrade is for both the initiation fee and the annual dues from the amount at the parent's original joining to the present value when the dependent joins.
Many members combine a family vacation with a hunting or scouting trip. One of the most popular destinations in very close proximity to some of our hunting lands is the Branson Missouri recreational area.
Relationships Built On Friendship
Jon and John, Here are a couple of pictures from the first week of turkey season. I hunted 2 states. The weather was very hot for early season. The bird I killed in Iowa was pushing 30 lbs. and had 2 11" beards. My 9 yr. old son made the trip with me. It was his first hunting trip. It was a great experience for both of us. He is now hooked on turkey hunting. Thanks Steve for the good pictures and update. Glad to see your son out there.
