About Us
Since 1965, Mid-America Hunting Association (MAHA) has been offering self-guided private leased land hunting across Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa. Our members enjoy various hunting options, including deer, turkey, pheasant, quail, duck, goose, and fishing. Every hunting experience we provide is 100% fair chase of wild game, where we supply the land, and our members bring their licenses, tags, and gear.
The land we lease, totaling 150,000 acres across 73 counties, has been carefully scouted and leased directly from landowners by Jon Nee, who has owned MAHA since 1982. Each farm is accessible via detailed county road maps, aerial photos, and GPS coordinates to enhance your hunting experience.
We ensure quality and safety in our hunts through a streamlined telephone or online reservation system, allowing members to book their hunts 24/7, whether it’s the day of or up to 30 days in advance. Notably, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis for all reservations to provide equal opportunities for every member.
We carefully screen applicants through interviews to ensure that we welcome only responsible sportsmen who respect the land they hunt on. Memberships are limited to avoid overpressure on the game, maintaining a high-quality hunting environment for all.
While lodging isn’t included in membership, we do provide a local lodging list featuring hotels, motels, Airbnb’s, and campgrounds close to our leases to help you plan your stay.
At MAHA, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of sportsmanship and the strict obedience of all club rules, along with state and federal fish and game laws.
If you’re interested in becoming a member or would like more information, please feel free to reach out.
Hunting options
Deer Hunting
Deer Hunting
Once accepted, members have a choice to scout and hunt thousands of acres of quality private leased land in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa spread across 73 counties. The habitat includes heavy timber, small timber plots, creek bottoms, and CRP adjoining corn, soybeans, wheat, and milo. Method options include archery, firearms, and muzzleloader. The average deer spot is 160 acres.
Turkey Hunting
We offer the spring turkey hunter access to three top producing states. All hunting is self-guided on private leased land. The season is 8 weeks long with the opportunity to fill 4 tags. We boast an exceptional spring turkey success ratio compared to the state’s averages. Most of our turkey are Eastern, but we do have Rio Grande in Western Kansas.
Turkey Hunting
Duck Hunting
Duck Hunting
Managed private wetlands and crop stubble, with permanent blinds, layout, and wade-in areas. The wetlands include marsh, sloughs, oxbows, flooded food plots and open water. Having a variety of wetlands gives you the opportunity to follow the migration and go to where the birds are, rather than relying on a single leased blind or waiting in line at a public area.
Goose Hunting
Goose hunt early, regular, and late season for dark geese and spring for light geese over water and crop stubble. Tens of thousands of acres are available giving the hunter the opportunity to scout and hunt where the geese are.
Goose Hunting
Quail Hunting
Quail Hunting
Wild bob white quail hunting on small and large private leased farms in Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri. Hunt at your own pace behind your own dog(s) on row crop land spread across 76 counties. Each quail hunter will be allocated 400 to 500 acres per day.
Pheasant Hunting
In recent years, Western Kansas and southern Iowa have been the most productive pheasant hunting regions for our members. The brushy draws and CRP fields adjoining row crop are ideal cover for both the pointing and flushing dog. All birds are wild.
Pheasant Hunting
Fishing
Fishing
We offer members access to designated private farm ponds, strip pits, irrigation/watershed lakes and rivers for bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. Members’ spouses and dependents are allowed to fish at no charge.
