Private Land Kansas Quail Hunting Self Guided
Kansas Quail hunting with this Association is for the self guided upland bird hunter that has his own dogs, willingness to walk and shooting capability.
For The New, Not The Experienced
This Kansas hunting page assumes the reader has never been hunting Kansas Bobwhite Quail. An alternative article would be picture examples of our Kansas Bobwhite Quail habitat.
A Single Quail Hunting Day
"A 7 hour day quail walk on broken up properties hunting a total of 690 acres. The quail were willing to let us walk by. The farm had two dog habitat and lots of woods shooting. It took right to the last hour to get the final quail. The older dog was so tired at the end of the day he refused to come out of his box for the picture. Harry"
We have found the need to say this next paragraph repeatedly:
Self guided quail hunting for the individual upland bird hunters that enjoys hunting his own dogs. No professional dog trainers, breeders or handlers need apply, our Association is for the individual foot hunter of his own dogs.
Long Time Kansas Quail Hunter

Nothing Fancy
Our quail hunting approach is simple. For the average upland bird hunter that wants to hunt his dogs. One price per year for all hunting land in all three states to hunt anytime during the season.
Quail hunting is over private land with online road maps available to Association hunters. We will assist with hunting recommendations based on these maps of where to park the truck and put dogs down. Lodging is by local motel with an up to date listing available through the Association.
Kansas offers more Bobwhite Quail hunting habitat variety than that of Iowa or Missouri. That habitat is over grain fields edged with tree lines, fence rows, grassed waterways, brush and fallow ground.
Kansas upland bird season starts in mid November and runs to January 31.
Kansas has covey numbers to rival that of Missouri and our southern Iowa land on their best years. The difference between Kansas and Missouri remain that Kansas hunting includes pheasant.
Kansas hunting offers one more option to the do it yourself upland bird dog hunter. With three states to select from, a long hunting season, limited hunter pressure, a variety of habitat, overlapping pheasant and Prairie Chickens. This added adventure of covering new ground adds that extra bit of motivation we all need during the longer hunting days when the walks seem to get longer.
Our winter weather allows good hunting through January all combine to give each hunter more places to hunt than time to hunt. The best aspect is the ability to go hunting without mixing dogs up with other hunters or chasing on the heels of others. Within MAHA the public hunting land mentality is absent. All will find a more tranquil approach to watching his dog hunt.
There are many intangible advantages to our method of organization that simply add up to all may be hunting on their schedule, on game productive habitat at anytime during any season. The only way to beat what we offer is to lease your own twenty thousand acre of hunting land and keep everyone off it. Until then we are the best average hunter option.
Where to go hunting beyond the Association partners recommendations include our own, isolated to MAHA land upland bird forecast. This forecast captures the weather and habitat changes through the year to offer a better assessment to hunting quality.
Our approach is to operate as a business to insure the most return for the Association hunter. No hunting club social activities or relationships. The Association partners will be friendly to all without having any friends.
2010 Kansas Quail Hunting Acreage
Posted is the Kansas County name and acreage within that county available for hunting.
Our best Kansas hunting as well as most of our hunting land is within the agricultural region to include the well loved Bobwhite food of milo. Nothing in the hill country or cattle ranch lands.
Concerning our hunting lease land management, we do not stand still on our leases. Every year we drop those where the habitat no longer supports our requirements and add land that does.
The advantage you get with this Association is that not only do the two partners, John Wenzel and Jon Nee, also have their own farms on which they develop quail habitat. This combination of repetitively finding coveys on MAHA private lease land and year round observations of nesting, winter cover and food habitat creates a calibrated eye of what type of habitat to lease in the future.
Kansas Quail Hunter
A collection of hunting pictures is presented over the next several pages featuring Jerry Cordonnier. He is a long time hunter who is part of the one in the bag per covey club.
He is able to get his dog, in this case a first season pup, on more coveys each day more so than most. The value to his pictures is the habitat to be seen in the back ground showing where he has been hunting.
And, he does get limits.
His young dog refused to sit for her picture, probably could not understand why they were not out hunting.
Kansas Quail Habitat Snapshot
We go deep into cover in pictures and text as it is quality cover that gives us the hunting we have. This entire section will show many. We seek to reduce as much as pictures will make possible where to hunt for the better dog work.
A fence line hunt frequently means as many or more will flush to the far, non-huntable, side of the fence. A waterway or drainage within a field where the flushing to either side may be more effectively pursued.
Using the links at the bottom of each page will systematically proceed through the remaining pages of this hunting section. Showing many more habitat and dog on point pictures of what is available to hunt. Many discoveries of our self guided hunts remain. We seek return hunters through insuring good hunts. The good hunt means wild Bobwhites and without hunter pressure. How many go in the bag is up to that hunter.
