Missouri Interest
Administrative | TypesWhen it comes to a Missouri hunting lease it is waterfowl that leads the effort and duck clubs on top of that. A distant second is deer and most of those include spring turkey as well. Upland bird leases are non-existent except for those preserve or release bird clubs and most of that is for quail. Waterfowl, Wetlands & BlindsFor anyone to consider a wetlands lease especially in the better duck areas be prepared to pay a lot for a little. A typical duck lease is for a seat in a blind or a single blind. If joining together in a private club then a small wetlands of several blinds may be found, however for the most part the money lies in the single blind wetlands sub lease and most have high enough turnover of hunters one may be found most seasons. The challenge is finding a blind on the right kind of wetlands with a consistent water source and someone willing to manage the wetlands that understands ducks. A tall requirement often advertised and frequently left as a void.
Whitetail Deer & TurkeyThe easy to buy over the counter and now online deer and turkey tags makes Missouri a very attractive, always available to hunt state. That is a bonus, for Missouri has an exceptional turkey population with some very heavy toms and a large deer herd where if working hard enough a true trophy may be found. From these two points alone, purchase rather than draw tags and a large wildlife population, Missouri does offer a lot of hunt. And, just as with ducks, location means a lot. That is the inherent challenge with any lease is to find the right spot. Chances are that one single farm is more likely not to be the right spot and the hunter makes do with what he has.
