Non-Competitive

Our Missouri wild turkey hunting is on private land under lease for our exclusive do it yourself hunter/member use.

 

Each hunter reserves a specific numbered property per hunter per day and hunts that property alone. That private land is either selected by the hunter based on his previous hunts, pre or during

This is the short story of our Missouri turkey hunts. For specific details always feel free to call 9 to 9 on most days for a first hand discussion.

season scouting or from recommendations by the MAHA staff of farm/habitat most likely to hold a flock. We will get the new member to the point of where to park his truck step out an hunt. After that the hunter is on his own. After several hunts most members develop favorite localities, hunt frequently within that area and further enjoy the added pleasure of experiencing other regions as well.

From our point of view this next topic should not have to be discussed. However, since we receive this particular question and we seek to answer all questions on this website we do tell that all hunts are on wild turkey free of human influences other than what the hunter can bring to the hunt.

 

Turkey Scouting

 

As a self guided turkey hunter organization we, the MAHA staff, are in the field 12 months of the year. These mid-February birds are just one example of what we track so that the hunter is hunting the right area for what he is after. Our tracking however, does not replace the hunter's own scouting the first day of the hunt.

Flexibility

If the hunter enjoys that first farm he may remain there for the duration of his hunt or expand out having the adventure of exploring more of our other private land within a short drive. Our reservation system makes this mobility possible by limiting the number of days any one hunter may hunt any one single property preventing any one hunter from blocking others from having equal access to all the Association lease ground. For those that do want to hunt that same property they merely keep their reservations up to date.

Hunt Alone

The motivation for making a telephone reservation to an individually numbered turkey lease is to ensure we know where that hunter is so we do not allow anyone else to hunt that lease when the first hunter is there.

By this means all hunters are hunting alone. It is also the means by which we limit day to day and week to week turkey hunters insuring no one lease receives too much hunter pressure. If we do a good job at this, all spring season turkey hunters will find the flocks relatively un-pressured as we have more turkey lease land than turkey hunters to hunt them all. The hunter wants a good turkey hunt and we want that hunter to return for years of hunting. That is our business and customer service approach.

Further, nearly half of our turkey hunters being non-residents that fly out and turkey hunt selected long weekends leaving many season days with little activity. And there is more.

Our membership allocation system is based on membership primary and secondary hunting discipline compared to our leased land profile. The land profile is managed by regional production within Missouri, Kansas and Iowa, habitat carrying capacity and past production. The bottom line is that not all of our self guided hunters seek spring or fall hunts and are fewer than the land we have with birds.
