Turkey

Spring season turkey hunting is such a skill demanding hunting discipline that hunter pressure on our lease land is kept well in check. Kansas turkey hunting further suffers from the national domination of neighboring Missouri further creating a natural limit to Kansas hunters. All together our Kansas hunting lease land with turkeys and the right habitat goes under hunted each spring.

Try and find another hunting lease operation that provides all season flexibility during each hunt in Kansas, Missouri or Iowa.

In the case of a turkey hunting lease, the hunter seeks safety foremost. What MAHA brings to the turkey hunter is that all of our lease lands are numbered and every turkey hunter hunts each numbered lease alone. We do not stack hunters up on each other on the same lease. And, that hunter may have multiple deer and turkey hunts on the same collection of lease lands and thereby gain a greater understanding of year round wildlife movement patterns.

Hi John. Just a note to thank you for all your help. Yes I do take time to enjoy life. Many of my friends do not. They are all more interested in the daily grind. My daily dilemma is where to fish. I made a promise to myself and family to include the outdoors everyday. It is hard sometimes. We don't live in the easiest of hunting and fishing environments. People think of Colorado as the outdoors capital of the west. Not so. Although some of the MAHA properties are distant, to me, it is heaven on earth. I have hunted all over. Canada, Alaska, all over Colorado (when I can draw a tag) and many other states. There is nothing better than the mid-west. Thanks for the opportunities to hunt with MAHA, and thanks again for all of your help.

Landon loves the club , also. Did you ever get a photo of the turkey he tagged on the youth hunt?

Pheasant and Quail

The goal of every upland bird hunter is to hunt wild birds in sufficient numbers to give their dogs a lot of experience and the hunter many opportunities to observe their dog in action. A tough requirement to fulfill under any hunting lease system.

Kansas public land (within the great plains where agriculture is king and most hunting land privately held) simply cannot sustain the dogs and hunters it receives. The birds move out.

Collection of enough private land access rights in sufficient acreage to prevent hunting the same places each trip is a time consumptive process that simply wears out a hunter. The alternative are preserves with pen raised birds or traveling a much longer distance to the huge tracks of western states and walk the endless miles of federal and state lands.

The preserve with pen raised bird hunting defeats the goal of the do it yourself hunter with his own dogs that simply seeks land for a self guided hunt. The western states public land solve the land availability problem and creates a second, that of where to hunt.

Having a million Kansas public hunting acres access is great. Where in that million acres are the birds? There is no one to ask. The Kansas hunter is left to figure it out himself and while many do, the chances of failure are stacked against the hunter.

The MAHA alternative solves the land access issue. Perhaps more important is the staff of John Wenzel and Jon Nee. They have a knowledge base of intimate boots on the ground experience with the land they lease and are motivated to support the member/do it yourself hunter.

Even with our self guided approach it is recognized that MAHA is a business based on customer service or in this case, ensure the do it yourself hunter has a good hunting experience. That good hunt brings the hunter back for years of hunting MAHA lease land. That returning hunter is low maintenance as he has his favorite hunting spots and always more lease land to explore than time available. The returning hunter simply hunts as compared to the first year member that requires a good bit of verbal guidance to insure he is where he wants to be based on habitat and bird of preference in Kansas as well as when expanding out to our Iowa and Missouri lease land.

For a wild bird hunting lease option we and any reader of this article will be hard pressed to find a better alternative in Kansas or Missouri and Iowa.

First MAHA Kansas Hunt

Dear MAHA,

Here is a photo of my first ever Mid-America hunt in Kansas with my two shorthairs. This was my first year with MAHA and it exceeded all my expectations. I took Jon's advise and hunted three different Kansas regions this year. There was not one day where I didn't get into birds. Several days resulted in me limiting out. Other days, we had to work pretty hard for what we got. That's hunting! I've heard that others did not do as good citing that Kansas is having a down year. If that's the case, I cannot wait until a "good year."

 

I met some other members in the field. Each member I meet has been very courteous and respectful. They too take ownership in MAHA and it is refreshing share land with such people.

 

I've been impressed by MAHA staff. Everyone has been helpful in answering my questions. All messages have been return in a timely manner.

 

I look forward to many more years with MAHA.

 

Thanks for providing such high quality land.

 

Bryan

 

Thank you for the compliments Bryan and special thanks for such a nicely composed picture. One for the wall I bet.

MAHA Lease Option

We are but one choice when it comes to a Kansas hunting lease. We are not the right fit for everyone. For the do it yourself hunter wanting the added adventure of a self guided hunt we do provide the Kansas hunting lease land resource to fit that need. Those that want fancy lodging, equipment provided or a hunting guide should find another alternative. That type of hunter will not be successful on our Kansas land on his own.

Continuing though the Kansas hunting links below will give the reader increasingly greater details about the options we provide. Namely one, the chance to hunt Kansas.

Paid Self Guided Hunter Attitude

 

Jerry's new dog Annie's first wild quail.

Quail hunting is by far the most difficult hunt we offer just due to the walking required to develop knowledge of where the coveys are located. Part of the consequence of a self guided hunter organization. That consequence defined further is in that for every 1,000 acres of quail habitat, the coveys generally occupy a 5 square acre area. To find the several coveys or those several 5 acre localities for each 1,000 acres of land takes the willingness to walk all of the acreage. The benefit of quail hunting within a self guided hunter organization as opposed to a knock-on-door or public lands hunter is that the self guided hunter does not shoot out a covey as he is there for reasons other than the birds alone. That self guided quail hunter husbands his known coveys to insure good hunts to come. The public lands hunter shoots every quail he can as he knows that if he does not the next free land hunter will.
