Turkey Hunting

Hunt

When it comes to DIY Kansas turkey hunting the operative requirement is wild Kansas turkeys. The wild turkey aspect may be the base element in the wild turkey hunting definition and we carry that definition several steps further.

Our self guided turkey hunts are for wild turkeys is not around feeders or any other than existing terrain enhancements. We further do not guide that turkey hunter into the roost or flock making that hunter make his own wild bird hunt experience. If the goal is true wild bird hunts first and the second criteria is state of choice or species then we may be the right choice.

A simple discussion that some will agree with and a few will want more from us when planning their spring hunt. We draw that line at recommendations where to park the truck step out and hunt. Those recommendation are on leases that have birds. What we do not provide is location of roosts, which field to hunt or what tree line to setup on. Those refinements cross over into the too hard category as those behaviors change daily and it is the turkey hunter that must adapt at the point of boots on the ground time from his own direct observations.

Mid-America Hunting Association Staff,

First off I would like to compliment you on your quality properties. This is my first year as a member and I am looking forward to many more. I had previously scouted the property a few weeks ago and found many birds. Last Saturday was the first day I could get away to hunt. I filled both of my Kansas turkey tags by 9AM that morning. I had a wonderful hunt with no pressure and I never saw another hunter while on your property. Actually, I was back home in Arkansas and mowing my yard that same afternoon when my hunting buddies came by empty handed after hunting here in our home state! Thanks for a great hunt, I look forward to hunting Missouri in a few weeks.

Thanks Kyle

Thank you Kyle for showing what can be had the first hunt!

Calling

One aspect we have found amongst the association hunters that are either turkey and or waterfowl hunters is they can cross that line between these two hunting disciplines quite easily and our approach of all seasons for the same cost allows that crossover very easily.

Those hunters that do cross over seem to have that special nuance ability developed early in life growing up as youth hunters or have dedicated to either turkey or waterfowl motivated by home state geography and its limitation.

For those that are well versed in one and seek to hunt the other we offer a buddy hunt opportunity where members may find others within and without their own disciplines and explore more hunt opportunities under the guidance of another more experienced in that area. For those that are either turkey or waterfowl hunters but not both, this has worked the best over the years. A good handful of hunters have extended their hunting seasons from fall waterfowl to spring turkey hunting.

Steve N. and Steve L. harvest on the same spring hunt the same day on the same turkey lease two toms one Rio and one Eastern, that is rare. The first we have seen this type of hunt and both with bow! Congratulations to the two Steve's for a most unusual turkey hunt.

Ease

For the effort of writing a check for the one cost annual membership every Association turkey hunter may spring and fall hunt our three states for more weeks in the field and more over the counter license purchase than any other options to be found.

All turkey hunts are do it yourself with our assistance to the first year member getting him to the place where he needs to park his truck, step out and hunt in Kansas and Iowa or Missouri as well.

All land is 100% private land we lease for it having the right kind of habitat within the right region of the state.

The final piece that makes our do it yourself wild Kansas turkey hunting all the more convenient is our lodging listing for every county where we lease land. Local motels, country homes, B&Bs, and bunk houses are listed. Also listed are, tow truck services, vet services, and meat lockers. All the elements the hunter requires for a good turkey hunt and all the elements he does not need.

For the hunter that wants the chance to hunt on his own, over game productive habitat. That is what we offer for Kansas spring toms plus that for deer, upland and waterfowl. We do not lead anyone by the hand, tell him how to hunt or when to shoot. All get to hunt their own style at their own pace and most importantly of all is the ability to hunt wild birds without competition.

Spring hunts being the skill demanding discipline that they are and the great independence of the do it yourself hunter makes most hunts a solitary affair leaving the hunter to take the picture. From Greg S. Thank you Greg for all that you have done for MAHA.
