Deer Hunting

For one annual cost all members may hunt Mule and Whitetail Deer; Eastern and Rio Grande Turkey; pheasant and quail as well as duck and goose hunt. This is inclusive of our lease land in Kansas, Iowa and Missouri.

We keep our system simple with just one type of membership for all and do not offer a lower cost single species or state membership. If we did, the waterfowl hunters would have to pay more than all others due to the expensive nature of wetlands leases and work hours at maintenance.

For deer hunting we offer archery, muzzleloader and modern rifle and shotgun seasons in Iowa, Kansas and Missouri covering a time span from mid September through mid January. This allows the duck hunter to hunt during peak migration and have a deer hunt either before, after, or concurrent to his duck hunt. While most that deer hunt do so for trophy quality deer we encourage doe harvest to include extra freezer meat for our hard working duck dogs.

For the few dedicated versatile dog owners, another option is Kansas fall turkey that allows the use of dogs during the turkey hunt.

All in all there is little reason not to spend more time hunting for ducks, deer, turkey, quail or pheasant.

John,

Well the monkey is finally off my back. After years of passing up 120 class bucks, I decided to finally close the book on going home empty handed. Thanks to both Johns for all your help with recommendations, returned calls, updates, etc. The club is a great organization with access to some great mid-western ground. Again, thanks you for your diligence in obtaining all the property we have access to. As strictly a whitetail hunter, it is my objective each year to harvest a wall-hanger. I have been a member since 1999 and every year with the exception of one, I have had that chance (at 140 class up, get to see a boonie most years). It just seems something always happens to help toward my lack of success especially since picking up the bow. Low shots, branches, I know you've heard the stories. There are some real fine bucks still walking thanks to me. Anyway, we'll keep trying w/the bow. The pix are of [name deleted] and my bucks from [location deleted] w/rifle in 2 days hunting. Back east my best buck has been ~125 B&C in 25 years of hunting. As mentioned earlier, I pass on bucks this size every year now because I know I'll get a shot on a deer exceeding this usually in 1 week's hunt in MAHA. We do love the mid-west, and hope to continue to keep coming for life.

Thanks again to everyone, [name and address deleted]

Taking a look at the background cover habitat where these bucks came from is also good quail country. Our open deer habitat is frequently a concern for hunters traveling from more densely wooded states such as these two. there letter more so that anything we could say shows why they travel from a heavily wooded state to hunt our big open country.
