Turkey Hunts
Turkey Hunter interest
Details | Fall & SpringTurkey hunting options are as abundant as are the magazine articles written about it. There seems to be far more hunt options in far more states than many of us can remember being the case 25 years ago.
Many credit the NWTF for leading the restoration of flocks and allowing the synergistic effect of the blossoming spring season hunter industry sustaining that interest. There seems to be nearly as many spring season season accouterments as there are lures for bass fishing. Between these two effects another outgrowth is the booth space at the annual NWTF sports show having a waiting list of vendors for equipment, guide and outfitters that will overwhelm most with selection. This effect is further demonstrated by many more hunters that are willing to travel outside of their home state for either better hunts or simply more of it. This travel to hunt effect seemingly originated by the trophy whitetail deer hunter and expanded to cover spring season hunts. That same hunter for the most part finds the spring season to be just the right time of the year for another trip back to those areas that allow for both good whitetail and spring tom hunts.
MAHAWhat MAHA has is the private lease land in the right regions of Kansas, Missouri and Iowa that allow for both good whitetail and turkey hunt. And, our hunts are on wild turkey for the do it yourself turkey hunter. That prized combination allowing the same self guided hunter to return to the same leases during two diverse periods of the year give a far more comprehensive knowledge of the land and its wildlife. During any one trip that one golden nugget of a hot spot may be revealed that allows subsequent hunts to be far more productive. This one intangible bit of advantage is well sought after by many and completely oblivious to others. The tangible and easily measurable benefits we offer include a couple of hundred thousand acres of private land we lease for spring turkey as well as for deer, upland and waterfowl. We also provide a lodging listing and recommendations of where to hunt. However, it is the combined effect of the intangible advantages that make for the better hunts. For wild turkey hunting these intangible advantages include an Association staff that have many years of turkey hunting experience. This may not seem to be surprising if all we were was a turkey hunt outfitter. We are not. We provide for mule and whitetail deer, pheasant and bobwhite quail, duck and goose and Eastern and Rio Grande Turkey hunts. Having those that manage a hunt club hunt what the members seek allows for a more intimate knowledge of the wildlife, habitat and how to make a hunt work. The benefit to the hunter is we get him to the spot where to park his truck. Once there the hunter makes his own do it yourself hunt.
