Hunter Interests | ControlsThe limiting factor to our self guided hunting lease operation is the amount of time and road miles that partners Jon Nee and John Wenzel have to acquire private lease land and the critical factor is that each lease and landowner is visited twice a year. One visit during the season and once off season we survey each private land lease as best we can and attempt to cover all the land each year. These visits serve to remind the landowner we are watching the habitat and land use as it must substantially remain the same and in compliance with our written lease contract from the time we sign the lease until its closure. And, as long as the landowner knows we are watching him and the lease we will not be taken advantage of by the landowner attempting to stretch the limits of the contract.
When it comes to landowners and lease contracts the ideal of the example set by the book and TV show Little House On The Prairie where all things are accomplished with a wink of the eye and a handshake still does occur in the central mid-west. However, a far more prevalent example are set by those landowners that smile when a non-resident license plate drives into the farmer's driveway.
Our hunting lease business advantage over the average hunter trying to run his own lease is many fold. That landowner has the idea that the small group of non-resident hunters will pay a large lease amount for a small bit of acreage and before and after that group hunts the landowner will attempt to have other non-residents lease the same land. The difference between what the hunter and the landowner's lease objectives are at this point are great with the average work-a-day hunter powerless to enforce his lease desires. Under our wild game, natural habitat private land lease approach we manage the landowner's actions and serve to support the do it yourself hunter's desires as well. With MAHA acting as the hunter's advocate we lease for our hunters the right habitat in the right region of the state and then manage the hunter to ensure non-competitive hunts.
