Private Kansas hunting land lease

When it come to a Kansas hunting lease there does exist options beyond private land leasing that may better suit someone's Kansas hunting interests making a lease an un-necessary expense.

How MAHA operates their hunting lease organization.

Such distinguishing criteria largely follow along the hunter's hunting discipline and intensity on which he plans return hunts.

Using these two decision criteria as a basis of analysis (frequency and discipline) the other options to leasing land will be reviewed with illustrative example as a sampling and not meant as a comprehensive effort. We offer these examples up only as food for thought.

Walk-in Private/Public Free Land

Kansas State offers private land to public lease of contractual access for hunting use during specified times of the year for specific wildlife species.

This system that turns private land into public hunting land has much advantage over other state public lands that are open to hunting. These advantage are largely limited to those that access walk-in land are overwhelmingly there to hunt and do so only during the hunting season. That one facet alone makes this a preferred option over the public lands that do seem to get a very good amount of year round human pressure from hunters and other than hunters.

The deer drive hunter benefits the most from the walk-in program.

Deer drives can easily access different road sides of the property dropping off those on stand and those on drive. As all access is unlimited, drive deer hunters can walk as many properties as they have daylight hours and transportation time to cover. With a little preseason scouting the better deer walk-in farms will be identified and with good shooting a number of fair quality racked bucks can be taken and probably a greater number wounded.

Such hunts as drive deer hunts leave each property good for one hunt per group probably at a frequency of every other day or so. This makes this land a good choice for the one weekend a year rifle deer hunter.

Kansas Live Pictures

We carry a camera more often that a gun. Our field time is also the means by which giving recommendations of where to hunt the easiest part of the job. As running MAHA is a full time job we are out on the land year round and get to see a lot. It is by that means that the MAHA hunter will have a better idea of where to hunt than by any other research method possible short of everyone putting boots on the ground time.

Late season Kansas spring turkey hunting when the foliage is much thicker and the patterns of the birds change. This is southern Kansas that always greens up the fastest of all of our land.

With MAHA's approach to hunting lease land and hunter organization is that each hunter may spring turkey and fall deer hunt the same collection of farms.

The same tom in all three pictures. He cooperated responding to a mouth call and not another bird in sight.

While the MAHA staff does hunt and does so on the land they lease, they also recognize that MAHA is a business and not a hunting club. They earn their living from insuring hunters have a good hunt and want to renew their annual membership.
