Pheasant and Bobwhite Quail

Our upland bird hunting is on natural habitat and 100% wild pheasant and quail for the do it yourself upland bird hunter seeking self guided hunts in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa.

Some of this upland bird hunting information is repeated on other web pages as we have found over the years we never know for sure just at which page any one bird hunter will enter this website.

Our hunters hunt with their own dogs, using their own style, at their own pace. Hunters hunt over multiple farms within easy driving distance that will add up to more acreage than any one hunter with the best dogs will be able to cover in a day. From day to day on the same trip all may step from their truck onto a different field each time doing so on every day and not cross their tracks.
 

Upland Bird Hunter Distribution

A picture of a hunting unit of lease land map sheet (about 200 total on the website) a bird hunter would reserve for a day or so. In this case just over 2,000 acres.

On membership allocation each member receives access to a password protected website where we post all lease land map sheets for all member access to hunt.

Not all acreage is suited for upland bird hunting and some are within predominate pheasant or Bobwhite Quail regions. Before any bird hunter leaves home for his first season he will communicate by telephone with one of the two MAHA staff  of Jon Nee or John Wenzel and receive recommendations as where to hunt for the bird of choice and habitat of choice. After the first season most members develop their favorite bird hunting regions and return there as well as explore other areas for the added adventure.

This sample show some of the acreages involved with any one piece of contiguous lease land. With the mid-west road system consisting of 1 mile square sections it is far more common to find farms of 640 cares or less than of more acreage.

Two examples of what aerials look like for a pheasant spot above and a quail lease below. The difference between these two properties is the one above is covered with tall prairie grass that holds pheasants. The one below is within the quail only agricultural region and composed of row crop, fallow pasture and forage fields.

We do not expect any one to know where to hunt during their first year in the Association and will get all to the spot where to park their truck. After that it is up to the do it yourself hunter to make his own bird hunt.

The upland bird hunter can select from tall prairie grass, to brushy draws, to crop field soft edge, giving his bird dog a range of habitat variety and the hunter a changing of conditions that adds to the adventure of the bird hunt.

Add to this that the central mid-west has overlapping upland bird populations of both pheasant and Bobwhite Quail making for a mixed bag for each bird hunting trip or in some areas a concentration on one or the other. It is essentially the bird hunter's choice to make his own self guided upland bird hunting experience. We provide the basic resources of the land, bird habitat, recommendations and a local lodging list to make that hunt possible.
