Turkey Hunts
Turkey Hunter Interest
Missouri Topics | ServiceThe next part of the Missouri turkey hunting equation includes our abundance of our private land acreage spreading hunters. Kansas' Rio Grande Turkey hunts are an example of what draws our hunters outside of Missouri. One other facet often inquired of is competition with other hunters for the better leases believing older members may have an advantage. The basis for equality and fair land distribution begins with each member receiving the same map issue (online) and having the same reservation system. This is built on that we do not have any seniority system and the two full time Association land staff, Jon Nee and John Wenzel, insure all understand that while we are friendly to all we have no friends and no special interest of treatment of any person or group. Even with parity at land access, it is the member with a couple of spring seasons under his belt that will have more than one roost identified and have some self guided hunt flexibility. This aspect can only be overcome by the hunter himself. While we will jump start the hunter the first year, it will take that hunter some boots on the ground time before he builds knowledge of the land. Any one expecting immediate hunt results with minimal effort has lost site of the challenge and adventure of a self guided wild turkey hunt. To this end, this website strives to achieve reasonable turkey hunting expectations before membership application.
ParityOur approach to parity to all includes a written prohibition against gratuities for all those that draw an income from the Association, the two Jo(h)ns, Bruce our wetlands manager and our secretary. Add to all this that for the first year Association hunter we will jump start that hunter with recommendations of where to go turkey hunting in Missouri and elsewhere. These turkey hunt recommendations will be based on our first hand experience of the recommended leases. As we are on the land 12 months of the year we are the only single source of land analysis for all regions. Members will find our turkey hunt recommendations sound as our motivation is pure to insure that hunter returns for years of fall and spring season turkey hunts to come.
