| Mid-America Hunting Association since its beginning has been a do it yourself hunter organization that started out as a private lease land hunting club and grew to become a hunting business remaining true to the self guided hunt concept during its entire evolution. A lot of detail is packed into that one long sentence. Our definition of the hunter we work with is one that has all his own willpower, equipment and hunting skill necessary for success only requiring a place to employ that wherewithal. To that end we are a hunt execution, not a training, activist, conservationist or social club organization. We further do not allow any type of guided hunts on our leases or allow any other than a member hunt any of our leases (exception of a very limited and highly restricted guest policy). The business and not a club aspect is that we have an objective approach to quality self guided hunts. No other motivations.
When we first talk by telephone we will clearly establish our purpose and who we screen for as members. We will cover all the rules for the hunter's primary and secondary hunting discipline. That will accomplish two facets. The first is to ensure we both agree what we are so there will not be any surprises later. The second aspect is that we want to insure we can work together. A key part of our self guided hunts that we offer is that they are all fair chase. The reasonable hunter should agree that fair chase frequently means more failure than success if that success is solely measured by tags and bags. For those that measure success by the opportunity to be on the right habitat within the right region of our Kansas, Missouri and Iowa area and to hunt without competition, then we may be able to work together. We have never simply allocated memberships to all that had the means to pay. We also run a "keep out" list with more than half the names provided by members. It is a matter that we have a good product, we have a high return of members and we seek to keep good that which is.
There is more about our do it yourself hunter approach to paid hunts and for now the points above are those that have earned the most positive feedback. Other details of our do it yourself hunts right down to nuts and bolts details relevant to each hunting discipline begin on the links below. Otherwise, always feel free to call us 9 to 9 on most days, our telephone number and email link are at the bottom of each page.
