Turkey Hunts
Hunter Interests | Landowners' AdvantagesFor the landowner that has some turkey hunting on small acreage in search of the highest bid possible for his land to lease for wild bird hunts, we most likely won’t rank at the top every time, but most times we do.
Prompt payment, control and liability insurance is our main attraction to the majority of our land holders. The final aspect of our lease contracts is we pay them for years. This compares to the seasonal lease a landowner may secure from one group of hunters for one hunt that may or may not return for subsequent years. Our longevity in comparison comes from our multi hunting disciplines with most of our turkey leases being on good quail and deer habitat as well. Having the number of hunters we do all sharing the cost of the same leases without all hunting all of them makes for more lease acreage per hunter per day than by other methods. That type of management approach makes for long term relationships with landowners with them gaining a more reliable and long term lease income that intern attracts long term members that can count on returning to the same hunting leases from year to year.
While this may seem the landowner holds all the cards the converse is true of our hunting lease business approach with written contracts as they have performance criteria that both parties agree to. This is a case where the lease contract will only work if both the landowner and the Association hunter can benefit from the relationship. All of our landowners are covered under our liability insurance policy and each hunter is required to sign a release waiver before they receive their lease maps. Our hunters are screened to ensure the people we have on our lease land are respectable sportsmen that treat the land they hunt as if it was their own. Alcohol and any type of trash or litter are not permitted. If a hunter disobeys any of our rules they are subject to expulsion from the Association. We do not attempt rehabilitation, that is not cost effective. We simply execute retribution in the case of any rules violation. Our lease land access is by foot only. Vehicles are not allowed to drive onto or across any fields on any land. ATV’s are not allowed on our leases during spring season to scout or hunt. This is as much a landowner relations issues as it is a hunt quality control. An ATV on the land is equal to more than 10 hunters' worth of pressure. The same holds for limited camping. We are a hunter organization for hunting not a State Park organization for general recreation. We have small acreage leases as well as large acreage leases. With many of our landowners coming to us as they have been overrun with turkey hunters over the years and enjoy moving the burden of hunters to us to deal with, especially landowners with large acreage. This includes many of the corporate farms that routinely as a business practice refused permission to hunt.
MAHA ExperienceWe have over 40 years of experience dealing with do it yourself hunters, hunting leases and know every trick. We have experience dealing with trespassing issues on our lease land and know how to correct issues with hunters that attempt to challenge our land lease agreements. The world is not perfect, but our approach to paid turkey hunting, hunting lease land and landowners comes close. We know what we want, we secure land for our needs and we enforce what we contract for. Life is that simple.
