For the new member we do not let that member flounder by not knowing where to go turkey hunting. We have a lot of land in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa and it covers various regions of varying turkey production. With all areas not being equal we seek to have our hunters hunt the better turkey leases.

The basis for a recommendation of where to turkey hunt is the Mid-America Hunting Association issued lease map sheets showing location of all leases and are posted on a website. A sample is below.

It takes nearly 200 map sheets to list all lease land and all land once contracted is posted to the website map library within 2-3 days of contract signing. All members have equal access to all map sheets and the same telephone reservation system. the advantage tot he first year member is that either John Wenzel or Jon Nee will recommend right down tot he property number where turkeys have been observed. All recommendations come for the two Jo(h)n's direct boots on the ground observation. Trust in this comes from the fact the two Jo(h)ns trust themselves more than any other source of where to send hunters for the best hunts as a means to secure their membership renewal. This marks us best as a hunting business and not a hunting club.

The red boxes show the acreage and common language description of the various sized numbered/lettered tracts any hunter would be recommended to and reserve. A turkey hunter would reserve one numbered of lettered subdivision per day for his hunt. Reservations may be changed during the hunt.

One point about the geography of this part of the world are our rural roads laid out in 1 mile squares that divide land up into many 640 acres pieces.

After the first season or at least by the second, the self guided hunter develops his favorite farms to spring season turkey hunt and should add to that listing of known turkey locations with additional scouting each spring or incidental to a fall deer hunt. As a do it yourself wild turkey hunter organization this first season jump start is not to be confused with yearly semi guided recommendations.
