Read a quick comparison of Kansas, Missouri and Iowa upland bird hunts.

Bobwhite Quail

The hunter has a choice from quail or pheasant predominate to wild Bobwhite Quail exclusive regions of where to hunt.

Quail hunters will enjoy easy to walk crop edge habitat finding coveys as well as singles allowed by our temperate weather and humidity.

Missouri quail hunts are along smaller grain crop fields with miles of edge along fence lines, drainages and waterway. Missouri quail hunting is for the hunter seeking quail only hunts free from pheasant.

Kansas quail populations rival that of Missouri by locality and varies from season to season. Kansas quail hunting serves the hunter that prefers mixed bag pheasant and quail hunts during the same trip.

Iowa quail region is limited to that of south central Iowa along the Missouri state line. Iowa quail hunts do favorably compare to Missouri with a longer quail season running to the end of January. Iowa is for the hunter that enjoys more quail than pheasant as Iowa has half the pheasant as compared to Kansas.

John,

I thought you would like to see some excellent photos taken by my friend and hunting partner Jason.

Jason & his dog, me and my dog went to (deleted) for what would be my last pheasant hunt of the season. The weather was cold but bearable and the winds were light and steady. The first field of the day, my dog of 7 yrs acted up as if he had never hunted before so I put him up for the day. Jason thought this would be a good time for him to leave his gun behind and attempt something with his camera that he had not yet been able to accomplish. The goal was to get on film, the dog, hunter, and flushed bird all in one frame.

As you can see in the photos he was able to do this not once, but three times. They are all outstanding pictures, but my favorite is the covey flush. I believe that photo to be of magazine front cover material. He also took the picture of my pheasant limit with his dog (who is really the hero of the story) and me of course. All three photos of flushed birds came from one 40 acre field of moderate quality grass. In between each rooster point the dog pointed at least 3 hens. We got a lot of points in that one field that many would have driven by. I am sure you will understand if I don't tell you the property number.

Jason was a little reluctant to send in the photos since he thought it would be perceived as "bragging". I have no such reluctance. Thanks for all your great work on the web site. I look at it every working day.

Good hunting! Randy

Randy told us this is from the last week of the season on his last hunting day for the year. The other pictures Randy mentions in his account we will share over the days to come.

Pheasant

Wild pheasant hunters will find variety to habitat and pheasant population densities. Hunters may have a mixed bag quail and pheasant hunt or focus exclusively on pheasant.

Kansas pheasant hunting is the best that we have with abundant tall grass and brushy draw pheasant habitat. Our Kansas pheasant hunting is well suited for both the flushing and pointing dog hunter. Working the tall grass yields the double digit flushes with more running or staying put allowing the hunter to bypass. the brush filled draw will give the added adventure of both pheasant and quail on the same walk.

Iowa pheasant hunts yield half the pheasant numbers compared to Kansas and always include quail. Iowa pheasant hunting is more suited for the pointing dog upland bird hunter due to the region wide overlapping quail population.

Missouri pheasants are slim in numbers and highly localized making a Missouri pheasant hunt an incidental bonus not to be expected. Upland bird hunters that prefer more quail action find Missouri to be a good locality while dedicated pheasant hunters will find Kansas a better choice.

Mid-America Hunting Association Advantage

Wild upland bird hunts for the entire season to hunt on the hunter's schedule as often and for as many days as he can schedule.

We provide the private land access, recommendations where to hunt and a local lodging listing. The hunter provides all the rest. If we allocate a membership, that hunter will gain access to our online map library for all upland bird hunting land we have and the membership telephone reservation number. After talking to either John Wenzel or Jon Nee all hunters will have a plan of where they will hunt long before leaving home.

We operate as a business and not as a club. As such we have a customer service attitude oriented toward providing every one as good of a hunt as possible.

To research further if this is a good choice for your next several years of upland bird hunt read the web page of interest (pheasant, quail), some testimonials and our rules. Write down your questions and give us a call, 913 773 8110.

Once we have talked and agree we can work together we will provide a list of upland bird hunter/member names and telephone numbers to call and ask the same questions. Finding consistency with the answers gives the degree of reliability of what may be expected during the hunt.
