Admin | DistinctionWhen we say we are not a hunting club critics will say we are splitting hairs by describing ourselves as a business rather than the more accepted clubs title. To this we offer a distinction.
ClubsClubs are a side line for those who operate them and often a volunteer duty requirement to sustain the continuation of the group of contributors. Example would be a group of hunters that lease a paper company's forest lands for their personal hunt use. Typical forest land requires a great amount of acreage to provide an acceptable level of, in this case deer hunts. Those that operate the hunting club do so to sustain the club by adding non-decision participants to hunt and help pay for the overall lease and their own personal hunting. Typically these club "officers" hunt for free using as a trade their administrative/management time as compensation back to the club. This type of hunting club exists for as long as its officers have a willingness to do all the associated work and can outbid other competitors at lease renewal time. Clubs also have the social connotation that includes personal relationship differences amongst members and to that between the general hunter and those that control the club. These relationships introduce bias towards operation, members and hunts.
Business DistinctionMAHA operates as a business with a customer service orientation of providing the best do it yourself hunts in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa for the self guided hunter seeking to make his own Mule and Whitetail Deer; Eastern and Rio Grande Turkey; duck and goose; quail and pheasant hunt. All is wild game. A clear objective whereas in hunting clubs their objective may not be well established. MAHA operating decisions are based to that objective for continuation of the Association through benefit to the Association hunter and at the detriment to any one hunter that seeks hunting other than what our conditions of membership allows for. This simplifies decision making, prevents personal bias and insures parity to all members, all of which is the converse of hunting clubs. Treating all hunters well and making for good hunts brings back the hunter for years to come.
There is more to distinguish Mid-America Hunting Association separate from that of hunting clubs. That distinction is well advertised with member/hunter letters and the concept we repeatedly state specific to each hunt discipline. Continue with the links on any page and those that ascribe to a good hunt ideal will find much satisfaction at developing a relationship with us.
