About Us

Hunt w/Us

Turkey hunting a skill intensive discipline is best understood by fellow turkey hunters and the MAHA staff turkey hunts each spring making them a good starting point for the better turkey hunting we offer. They are also motivated to get each hunter to return each year.

 

The interest in this hen and brood picture is that it was taken in late September and appears to be of a very late hatch. This was also seen in Iowa while on the road to one of our current hunting lease holdings up for renewal.

While riding in the truck seat is not scouting, seeing such sightings does contribute to our knowledge of the area.

A True "Limb Hanger"

Few of us actually trophy turkey hunt. Those that do, do so more when the opportunity presents itself. Many hunters will find in any reasonably sized flock one tom or more that will stand out due to body or beard size. To actively and solely hunt such toms of notable size will frequently mean unfilled tags. What we offer is simply turkey hunts without any additions to the state regulations and while few harvest jakes, most will find mature turkey enough that toms are the standard.

Common Skill

While the expert level of wild turkey hunter may amaze us, the reality for most of us is we are acceptable or average at turkey hunting, are able to harvest one to 4 toms each spring and are happy using every call, decoy, blind as well as any other turkey hunting tool we think would work. Most of us take up to a week to get our first bird and those that harvest faster credit luck or a bit of pre season scouting.

We recognize that many of our hunters are not able to scout and that is where our experience added to the fact we are on the land 12 months of the year comes to benefit the MAHA hunter. When we recommend a lease it is based on our personal observation of that land and the birds as well as the location in the state where we know there does exist an above average level of production.

While we are not experts ourselves, we simply work hard at getting our self guided hunters as good of a hunt as it is possible to make happen. That is our promise and that is the only promise we make. Our hunts are as challenging as anywhere else. We just try to give our hunters a jump start as to where to park their truck. Once there they hunt on their own.

If there is a definition of what an expert is, part of that definition must include the ability to pass on this specialized skill to another. In this case Jon Nee Senior (the association owner, operator and turkey hunter), he has done just so with Jon Junior.

After several seasons of mentoring Jon junior is able to successfully scout, setup, call in and shoot his own toms without dad being present. Now Jon Junior has the potential to become a great turkey hunter and knowing how his dad is the title of turkey hunting expert will not enter Jon Junior's mentality.

We know turkey hunting is hard and as soon as any of us think we have it figured out we will be reminded the bird has a mind and behavior of its own. And, we believe being a recurring successful hunter is not enough to be an expert.

 

The remainder of our turkey hunt section of the website will provide a good many hunter testimonials, success pictures and a detailed habitat section. The intent is to make as well known as possible with text and pictures the quality of our do it yourself hunts we offer as our service.

 

The product we provide is the right habitat in the right region of the state that has a good history of flock production. We essentially have completed the research most hunters would have done on their own and added to that the place to park their truck and go hunt. We take turkey hunting and make it better by managing hunter pressure.
