Administration | Club versus an AssociationWe have this page on hunting clubs as many hunters searching the internet use the keyword phrase “hunting clubs” thinking they will find a source of good information, namely land to hunt, not knowing there is a better alternative to a club offered by Mid-America Hunting Association. Our alternative is self guided hunting for the do it yourself hunter on private land we lease for our exclusive use.
Social versus HuntingThis is not a play on words between a hunting club and that of an Association. We do provide the private land resource many are looking for and do identify ourselves as an Association rather than a hunting club. The distinction is along the lines between that of a organization that has the single minded approach of providing the hardest hunter resource there is to acquires, that is land, and an organization that supplies a social environment for other than actual hunt activities such as in a hunting club.
TranslationOur philosophy or operational guideline is to provide private land for those that have the wherewithal to hunt on their own. Or, as our maxim states: Spend your time hunting rather than hunting for a place to hunt! That is it. We provide land, recommendations where to hunt and a lodging listing for every county where we lease land. We do not provide the hunting club amenities of meetings, guides, equipment, lodge or most importantly we do not allow gang hunts. The primary product or service is the private land we lease for our exclusive use. We conduct all the administration of handling the bullet proof written land lease contract, enforcement thereof (lawyer on retainer), payments (paid accounting), liability insurance (specific to the outdoor industry) and schedule of its use for our do it yourself hunters alone. This land we lease is based on our lifetime of being hunters ourselves, living in this region and having an understanding of what region within our three state area of Kansas, Missouri and Iowa has the wildlife we seek. This first hand, boots on the ground experience with the land is year round and serves as our basis for recommendations to out hunters of where to hunt. In this regard, we have been providing this hunting service since 1965. When we make a recommendation of where someone should hunt it is based on his or her game of choice and habitat preference. That recommendation will be within the region of any one of the states that has a history of production that will assure as much as possible a good hunt and that hunter’s membership renewal.
Hunting Is Our Business, we are not a Hunting ClubThe fact we operate as a business and are responsible for the livelihoods of our staff keeps this a serious organization focus on returning customers. To that end all customers or hunters in our case, receive the same lease land maps available on line to all, the same reservation system and land access. Having parity ensures all are treated fairly unlike a hunting club that may have implied services garnered by gratuities (we forbid them) or from those who spend more money (all pay the same price in this Association). The hunting club versus a business distinctions identified on this page should not be taken lightly. While the original search engine keyword phrase of “hunting clubs” may have brought the reader to this page knowing now that our organization exists should be all the reason to cease that original search and have a look at the services we provide. Another view point about hunting clubs and how to evaluate them.
