Mule and Whitetail Deer Hunting

Deer hunting for archery, modern gun and muzzle loader. Most of our deer hunters hunt two of our three states each year having access to multiple farms in each state and may decide day to day during where to hunt. Hunters are encouraged to pre-season scout and must place their own stands. Go to Deer Hunting

Kansas Mule and Whitetail Deer hunts are on eight deer management units. With each tag application allowing for multiple units giving us more tag options than a single unit hunt provider. Bow hunters enjoy the peak of the rut before gun season. Firearms hunters can have one tag that allows for the September muzzleloader and modern December rifle season. Kansas Deer Hunting

Iowa Deer hunting is offered in zones 4 and 5 in south central Iowa making an Iowa and north Missouri deer hunt possible at short driving distance and offset seasons. Iowa like Kansas only allows one primary buck tag. With the Iowa and kansas deer seasons overlapping it is common to manage tag applications so as not to have an Iowa and kansas deer tag in the same year. Iowa Deer Hunting

Missouri Deer hunting is becoming more well known through the State's intensive deer management program that includes a four-point one side restriction zone that has been around long enough that eight points are safe due to the number of nice 10 and 12 points to be seen. Missouri Deer Hunting

Eastern and Rio Grande Turkey Hunting

Four spring tags over the counter. Each hunter after his first spring turkey season and fall hunting trip for deer or other will quickly develop knowledge of more than a couple of roosts finding increasing success with each hunt. More about our turkey hunting

Missouri turkey hunting is along the heavily agricultural land use region where the mature Eastern Turkeys average 22 - 27 pounds. A three week season with hunts until 1PM leave time for fishing and deer scouting. Missouri Turkey Hunting

Kansas turkey hunting gives choice between Eastern or Rio Grande Turkey or hunt both for that added enjoyment of new terrain. Kansas has a six week spring season, all day hunts that overlaps that of Missouri and Iowa. Kansas Turkey Hunting

Iowa spring turkey season is short, broken into blocks of days with expensive competitive draw tag. Iowa is for those hunters that seek to fill the maximum number of tags they can with a good handful of members filing all five Association tags each spring. Iowa Turkey Hunting

Turkey hunters may make a spring campaign of filling five tags.With others that travel for spring turkey season are happy to harvest one tom and spend the remainder of the trip deer scouting new ground.

Waterfowl Hunts

Private wetlands and blinds for duck hunts and crop fields for goose spreads. Our best waterfowl hunting is in Missouri on the lower Missouri River Basin composed of hundreds of micro flyways. Missouri Wetlands

Duck hunting is from permanent blinds, wade-in or layout boats at the duck hunter's choice. We avoid the public wetlands duck hunter mentality of setting up close, sky-busting or trying to steal flights. Duck Hunting

Goose hunting is over thousands of acres of crop stubble on and near a variety of Missouri State refuges and private land waters. Our Missouri goose hunting is primarily for Canada Goose while many travel for Missouri's late and spring season primarily for Snow Goose hunting. Goose Hunts

Within one season each duck and goose hunter may hunt over flooded crop, marsh, timbered pot holes, slough and sloughs flooded through timber. Try our Missouri duck and goose hunting and then travel to Kansas for a tall grass pheasant hunt adding variety to each trip.

After hunting several of our private Missouri wetlands, one or two will become favored just as a blind or two on each may become preferred. Future hunts can return to those wetlands or blinds or as some others do follow the migration hunting that wetlands with the best reports. Waterfowl Hunting

Upland Bird Hunting

Pheasant and Bobwhite Quail in Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. It is a matter of bird of preference and habitat of preference of where to hunt. We will assist with itinerary develop for each hunt and each hunter will come prepared with a plan 'A' and 'B' for each trip. Upland Bird Hunts

Bobwhite Quail hunts are primarily along crop edge fields of fence rows, drainage's and fallow ground. there are miles of such cover and those with good edge running dogs will find our mild temperatures to allow for both covey and singles points over a mix of wood and open sky point and shot opportunity. All without cactus or rattle snakes. Wild Bobwhite Quail Hunting

Pheasant hunting is found in the tall grass where more pheasants numbers may be seen on one walk that rival many traveling hunter's entire season bird count in their home state. After a grass hunt try a brush filled dry drainage's that hold pheasant and quail and along crop fields where more quail and an occasional pheasant will be pointed or flushed. Pheasant Hunting

Upland Game including squirrel, rabbit, dove is available. Upland Game

Coyote, feral hog, bobcat, badger and such incidental to a current deer, turkey, upland bird or waterfowl hunt is permissible, but otherwise prohibited.

Fishing

Fishing for bass, crappie and catfish on farm ponds, strip pits, watershed lakes and streams.

In combination with a spring turkey hunting trip of fall deer scouting trip those that seek a break will find more water than time to wet lines. Fishing is largely from shore with all boat access primitive. Any boat bigger than what fits on a SUV roof or pickup bed is too large. Enjoy the day fishing without any public waters issues of personal watercraft or alcohol.

Bass fishing to rival that of see on TV tournaments. From watershed lakes and ponds for largemouth without public waters fisherman pressures. For additional small mouth bass fishing try any of our streams. Go to bass fishing

Crappie fishing for more than a meals' worth of fillet for those that can fish in a morning. Crappie Fishing

Catfishing is as rare as it ever has been with few the entire summer bringing in plenty of 4-5 pounder for a meal and an occasional two hander for a trophy. Catfishing

Turkey hunts have been Missouri's most well known and deserved reputation amongst traveling turkey hunter not for just sheer numbers of flocks and their flock size, but also for having a higher percentage of top scoring toms. Missouri Turkey Hunting

Quail hunters have long known the miles of crop edge found in the fertile northern Missouri agricultural region to provide more quail hunt than hunt in the hunter. Missouri Bobwhite Quail Hunts

Waterfowl remains Missouri's crown jewel of hunts with more water structure per square mile than any other state. Come hunt our private wetlands once and most return for years of hunts to come. Missouri Waterfowl

Deer season in Missouri is the longest of our three states offering over the counter gun and bow tags for seasons offset from that of Kansas and Iowa. It is through these offset seasons that most of our deer hunters are hunting two of our three states each year. Missouri Deer Hunting

Iowa Hunting

Iowa gives the advantage of one more set of seasons and tags to compliment Kansas and Missouri allowing most to double the number of field days they may schedule to hunt. Iowa Hunting Land

Admin Topics

Start with these must read documents that tell how to make membership application, our rules and how to hunt with us. From these three documents will be links to much more detail that clearly shows those hunters that enjoy their Association the most are the ones purely seeking self guided hunts for their own satisfaction. All others need look no further.

Conditions of Membership - commonly called the rules. They establish the relationship between the Association and the hunter. A long, boring read few can complete in one setting. Best read with a cup of coffee.

Membership Agreement - a short two page read of three points. The first is pay your money and get to hunt. Second, the hunter agrees to our rules. Third a release of liability statement where the hunter agrees that if he hurts himself he is responsible for himself.

How To Hunt With Us - an approach to insure as good of a fit between the hunter and the Association as the limited range of hunter type we are willing to work with.

Costs - what many want to know before other hunt quality details. Our first year cost is $1,500, the second year the cost drops to $1,200.

Administrative Topics Listing - for those that want to really get down into the weeds. This listing is of every administrative type topic we have ever addressed with hunters.
