Variety

We ensure our do it yourself pheasant hunters do hunt the right region of any of our three states based and their upland bird preference and habitat preference.

Kansas hunters will have more to select from in terms of habitat variety ranging from tall grass, draw and crop edge where as in Iowa and Missouri the habitat is more limited. With this kind of choice the hunter is not left to one option in terms of where to hunt, Kansas, Missouri or Iowa. And, when selecting to hunt Kansas the variety of pheasant and quail habitat may be all hunted the same day or the same trip.

Pheasant Point

Our pheasant hunt flexibility advantage is all the more important when one region or state has devastating spring rains during the critical period of nesting and brooding where rainfall can quickly wipe out ground nests or brooding chicks. The MAHA staff will be well aware of where the better conditions occurred and recommend to the member where to hunt.

These recommendations by the MAHA staff are derived from their own bird dog on the ground Kansas pheasant hunting experience with the private lease land as they cover that ground 12 months of the year.

Having a land management staff that also hunts and not just bird hunts but also trains and hunts their own dogs means they will be able to discuss the detail all hunters want to know of where and when the better areas will be. Hunters can trust these recommendations as the MAHA staff has the pure motivation of getting every hunter to renew their yearly membership knowing full well the hunter will only do so if the hunt is good.

Our wild upland bird country is big. The picture above is a milo stubble field of over 200 acres that extends into a grassed in waterway, the ideal combination of habitat that coves a 320 or 1/2 section of farm ground.

Our Kansas pheasant hunts requires a good bit of walking, a dog with good point standoff typically greater than 6 feet on a single bird. A dog that works close over a variety of habitat will make for a better hunt.

Pheasants within crop stubble will disperse and occupy these areas during different periods of the day of varying densities more so than in tall grass. This allows for more singles points and less conflicting varying aged scents again as compared to tall grass that concentrates pheasants into larger flocks with a great deal of overlapping scent cones. This variety of Kansas pheasant hunt conditions seems to be a benefit or a consequence dependent upon the hunter or his dog power.

Two hunters with three dogs on such a lease will take a minimum of 2 hours and more likely over 3 to hunt such a pheasant field as every corner, drainage, and thick spot across the entire acreage is a potential bird spot. Hunting by walking a geometric shape as a square or an oval will miss bird holding spots. Walking with dogs that will follow the hunter covering all cover spots relative to cover quality, wind, terrain, bird finds and dog work will make for a more productive hunt. A single hunter with one dog may find this field to be 4 hours of bird action making two such properties a full day's hunt, with a good break in between required by the exercise.

Those that simply walk straight in and out leave plenty of undisturbed birds for the rest of us. This is the nature of our Kansas hunts that is distinctive of that in Missouri or Iowa. Simply that of very large habitat areas.

Wheat stubble is the same as for the milo picture above this one. The best wheat stubble is that with weeds or a grass of brush drainages within it.
