Iowa wild turkey hunting

Iowa turkey hunting represents one more wild turkey hunting option of another choice of time and location the MAHA turkey hunter has that allows for more field time or easier vacation day scheduling.

This article assumes the reader has already read about our turkey hunts before reaching this article.

Comparing to a guide service the hunter must fit into that guide’s available schedule and is limited to the hunt in that one time slot within that one locality. With our approach the hunter decides when to hunt compliant with state turkey season regulations.

Another comparison are the hunter’s that hunt their own land that they either own or have as a lease. In this case the hunt is to the same location each time out. In our case we add the adventure of making a do it yourself hunt and exploring new ground.

Spring turkey scenes - a tom on the prowl

Any chance to watch turkey behavior and learn is a great time. A pre season scouting trip by the Association owner and spring season hunter, Jon Nee, checking out the land, the birds and the lease contract. All for the benefit of the Association hunter. This tom would mimic ground pecking while strutting. A variance to the typical head up and back with wings dragging. Even with this technique he was left lonely as the hens out of the picture to the right ignored him the entire time.

These pictures were taken in middle May in the afternoon showing there is plenty of strutting and hen seeking toms later in the season.

Hunt On Your Own

Our spring turkey hunting, as for all of our hunt options is not for every hunter.

We do attract and actually seek the do it yourself hunter and the hunter that wants the added bit of fun exploring new ground and new conditions in Iowa or in our other two states of Missouri and Kansas where we have leases. It is that type of hunter we choose to do business with forsaking all others. This has been our long term success method of operation dating back to 1965.

Working with do it yourself hunters we found all they require is just a jump start as where to hunt. That jump start is in the form of recommendations to numbered properties on the membership maps where we have boots on the ground experience with. The final element of a lodging listing complete the requirements for most that travel to hunt. All together the hunter that can hunt on his own prefers to do the rest.

For that hunter, our wild turkey hunting is just that type of opportunity. We have the abundant acreage, plenty of birds and very limited hunter pressure. The exact combination required for that hunter to be successful.

The turkey hunter may hunt at anytime during the season as often as he would like – more flexibility. That same hunter may also hunt any of our tens of thousands of acres spread across the three states where we lease land – more flexibility. That same hunter may also hunt Eastern as well as Rio Grande flocks. That same hunter may also fall season hunt as well as deer, upland and waterfowl hunt the entire year all for one cost. And, those hunts continue to be on the land of the hunter’s choice and when he chooses to hunt. Now that is flexibility.
