Iowa deer and turkey hunting lease land

Iowa hunting lease land is of special interest for the southern portion of Iowa adjoining that of Missouri where the same hunter may also enjoy the over the counter tag system of Missouri as a means of expanding his season.

Review an Iowa land acreage map showing acreage by county available for hunting. Or, read how we operate as a self guided hunter organization.

Land within easy driving distance of the Iowa - Missouri State line has created another economic resource in an otherwise depressed region. This area of low cost motels and small cafes also has a east - west and north - south highway system allowing for as fast as can be expected travel sometimes allowing the same hunter access to both Iowa and Missouri lease land from one lodging site.

Not all of the southern Iowa State region has the same topography or the same value from a hunter perspective. Consider the southern two to three tier counties from west to east. In the far west is the Missouri River Valley, most of the center is in the Grand River Watershed, and the eastern counties within the Upper Mississippi River Valley. Valley and watershed are the distinguishing terms and topography of the greatest concern to the hunter in terms of habitat quality.

Both the Missouri and Mississippi River Valleys have broad expanses of large flat crop fields very efficiently farmed with tractors and implements capable of 40 acres/hour. That is about as big as farming gets. The local tributaries have long ago been formed into cannels and irrigation marks more the wealth of these two farming regions than any other indicator. The end result is far less wildlife or as farmers describe it waste land.

The Grand River Watershed on the other hand is not a river valley. The Grand River Watershed rising up from central Missouri north into southern Iowa is composed of many wet and far more dry drainages heavily timbered and connect large and small stands of timber. These creeks cut through the large gain crop fields Iowa is known for making the ideal combination of cover and food sources repeated many times over within relatively small areas. That combination of food and cover is what we lease Iowa hunting land for, the right habitat within the right region of Iowa that has a history of production.

Good Iowa Hunting Comes Down to Habitat

This land is part of a corporate investment group that buys, hold and sells land. The benefit is that we have the financial wherewithal to lease their large acreage, they do not farm the land and seek our partnership to manage the hunter access. The consequence, and there is always one for every benefit, is the land may sell throughout the year, not all of it at once, typically a piece at a time similar to how acreage is added throughout the year as well. On that point, all will come to find that we never oversell our organization. Life is not perfect and we will never say we are the best option for every hunter.
