Hunting lease Acreage

Advantage

The next intangible self guided wild turkey hunting advantage we offer is that our hunts are not limited to a small acreage lease centered around a single lodging facility in one part of any one state. We are statewide and will lease land wherever the region in a state shows to have superior wild flock production.

This statewide advantage continues to have a cumulative effect as with multiple such localities within one state simply makes for more hunt options.

Our Kansas land demonstrates this by offering both Eastern and Rio Grande hunts. Our Missouri acreage is distributed both north and south-west-central allows for less driving time for many traveling to hunt our three state region. The Iowa ground give one more tag. Overall, not being locked into a single lodge location not only allows for more hunters to be distributed over a larger set of acreage, it limits the hunter pressure on any one farm.

This spread out acreage also allows for the turkey hunter that added benefit of the adventure of seeking out new ground in addition to his favorite areas each year. Few experienced do it yourself turkey hunters seek hunts on the same flock on the same ground all the time. Our hunters may do so to secure their first tag from a well known turkey hot spot farm and then explore other farms and possibly find that fall's next trophy whitetail hot spot.

Compare our approach to wild turkey hunts to a 5,000 acre outfitter with a lodge. In the case of the small acreage outfitter he may have a couple of flocks that he keeps anchored with feeders. Otherwise, by what means can he process enough turkey hunts each season to sustain an income and a reputation for success?

This can be tested by anyone over the telephone. Asking any such guide service his acreage available, number of flocks, number of hunters each spring, success rates and the number of days hunted on average for each tag filled? The higher the percentage in each category the greater the likelihood the birds have the feeders timed and the hunt is on a schedule.

The next intangible advantage is that we are not a guide service. We are a private land access organization giving the do it yourself hunter the resource he needs to make his own hunt as he wants that hunt to be.

We have the land, the turkeys, the reservation system to ensure hunter separation and we have another aspect that further separates us from the guide or outfitter. We are motivated to have our do it yourself hunters return each year for a tradition of hunts with us for years to come. That is made possible by providing the kind of turkey hunts most hunters want, that is they make their own success using Association resources.

Having that opportunity for success is what the true do it yourself turkey hunter seeks, not that which an outfitter offers or that being led by the hand and told how to turkey hunt.

 

Turkey Habitat

Our service is private lease land access for do it yourself hunts without competition from others. Our product is habitat. The right habitat in the right region of the state that has a history of production. These snapshots are of just such turkey habitat in north Missouri in February taken while reviewing leases.

Typical agricultural land habitat of wooded creek bottoms connecting wood lots cutting through grain fields.

Common to have the steeper lopes in grass with the hill tops in row crop.

The intent of all of our habitat pictures with and without birds is to take away as much mystery about our turkey hunts as possible through text and pictures.

And then there is the big open of western Kansas turkey country. The flock is dead center of the picture without a tree for more than a mile.

To hunt such open ground is first to scout with binoculars, not run and gun from ridge top to ridge top. Run and gun turkey hunts makes for action packet hunt videos and a dis-service to those that come to hunt open terrain. Any hunter that has pre-conceived ideas how to turkey hunt without considering the terrain, cover and food sources will find that inflexibility the cause for tags remaining in pocket.
