| Do It YourselfMAHA offers self guided Mule and Whitetail Deer hunts for those with their own equipment and their own skill on private lease land in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. Read how we are not a deer hunting club or a guided deer hunting service, but a self guided deer hunter organization. Hunts with us begin with our encouraging the hunter to conduct his own pre season scouting as the first step to enhancing success potential. After that the hunter should have several farms he has selected from all the acreage he scouted where he may want to hunt that fall. All hunters may hunt as many farms as they have time to develop and more importantly, all hunt employing their own style and not in competition with any other hunters. With us every hunter should have enough knowledge of more leases to hunt than he will have time to hunt during any one trip. This is more true the second season and beyond than the first. The first season hunter attitude should be the hunter is setting himself up for a lifetime of hunts to come. After that second season he will get to the point of having boots on the ground experience with enough properties that he will be arguing with himself as to where he wants to hunt. By his third season he has covered more ground and found more leases to his liking that he most likely will not even hunt his first season ground. Soon he will get to the point he will be waiting until a day or two before the hunt to get the last read on the weather conditions before deciding where he wants to hunt. Once the decision is made he telephone's in his choice and hunts. Most hunters will have at least three properties they would consider first choice deer hunting spots. On each of those three leases he may have anywhere from one to many trees prepared for stands or stands hung. That same hunter can be in a different stand from morning to afternoon on the same or different farm each day of his deer hunt until finding the trophy deer he is after. Once identified the hunter may remain with that one farm through the remainder of the trip. The point in this discussion is that each hunter is not limited to just one lease or tree stand. He may hunt several. The value to this is that in spite of the best possible scouting come that season things may change and what looked to be the best possible spot in March is no longer attractive in November. In this case the hunter moves onto his other numbered farms and does not have all his eggs in one basket.
