Turkey Hunts
Turkey Hunter Interest
Missouri Topics | HuntIt all comes down to we will do everything possible to get the self guided turkey hunter on to productive Missouri habitat and wild flocks as that will cause him to come back and have many more seasons to come. With tags over the counter purchase, our private land, our recommendations of what land to hunt and a local lodging listing leaves little reason not to spend spring and fall season out on a hunt. SafetyA final topic about our spring season turkey hunting is that more hunters are accidentally shot on spring season hunts than any other season according to the International Hunter Education Association website (state wide, not on our private land). A recurring element specific to spring turkey season accidental shootings is that the hunters that are shot are frequently so when moving. Our system of reserving individually numbered farms prevents other Association hunters from being on the same ground at the same time thereby enhancing safety. While this hunter separation greatly enhances individual safety no one can account for those that setup on the property line. Whenever out in the woods and camouflaged always have available a hunter orange hat to flash at a nearby hunter coming into or near your area as well as to wear when picking up and moving to a new setup. This last bit may seem unusual for hunters and will become more comfortable when the leisurely pace of our hunts are experienced. We have the wild birds and the exclusive leases. The member will always be able to hunt on his schedule anytime during the season. Taking the little extra safety precaution will soon become a natural part of all hunts.
PotentialA hesitation some turkey hunters express is what is the likelihood they will be able to experience the same success as seen in the turkey hunting success gallery. While we offer no guarantees of turkey harvest success we have found that the do it yourself turkey hunter has the prerequisite skills necessary for success and we provide the rest of the required resources through our private land resources via our leases, recommendations of where to hunt and the local lodging listing. After that, those who know turkey hunting will do well. However, by doing well we do not imply turkey tags filled. Our intent is the chance at a good hunt. The priority of work that has led to the most first year member turkey hunting success is to discuss a possible membership with us and if we agree we can work together then join MAHA. At that point the new member gains access to our password protected online lease map website. That website allows all members to have equal access to all lease maps throughout the year to include when they are updated. Once a new member can look at the same Missouri maps as we are it is a lot easier to talk about where to hunt. This is the point we will recommend to that member where to turkey hunt right to individual numbered Missouri private land we have under lease. Trusting these recommendations is easy as we seek to get that new members a good start in the Association to ensure his desire to renew his membership. Add to that we spend 12 months a year out on the leases and that new turkey hunter/member has the best source of the most complete information possible of where to Missouri turkey hunt. |
