| We offer hunting for Mule and Whitetail Deer and for youth and every deer is a trophy. After the first buck we will encourage each youth hunter to work his way up to true trophy status.
No trophy deer fees for any deer hunting - youth or adult deer hunting.
Private land youth deer hunting allows parent and child the chance to be in the solitude of the woods with no one to set the wrong example. A dependent child membership is one with the youth hunter age 18 and under in high school or 21 and under in college. The youth hunter must hunt under the direct control of a parent at all times on the same property at the same time. No youths are permitted to freelance at anytime. See the membership agreement. Each state has special youth deer hunting season. We encourage all with children to participate in all youth hunts as one more chance to spend family days together. Within MAHA we do not have trophy deer fees as we understand that trophy deer hunters are grown and not magically created. We do ask that the youth deer hunter once having harvested a racked buck then work to harvest bucks with only larger racks than what they have previously tagged and grow up to the 130 class for archery and 140 class and above for gun hunting. In all cases, doe harvest by youth deer hunters should only be limited by what the family can consume or willingness to donate to a hunters for the hungry type program.
When it comes to youth hunters be they deer hunters or any else we will always encourage their hunting within Mid-America Hunting Association. Also, plan on a summer time fishing, deer scouting or spring turkey hunting trip or two as well.
