Do It Yourself Hunts

Our self guided Kansas pheasant hunting is the best pheasant hunt of our three state region with the range of Kansas habitat making that better pheasant hunts possible, in spite of what many feel about Iowa pheasant hunting.

This portion of the article emphasizes what distinguishes our private land wild pheasant hunting. The links at left may be more informative.

For the pheasant hunter that wishes to have more land to pheasant hunt each day than daylight hours available and have a do it yourself pheasant hunt experience we fit that specification.

For the pheasant hunter that wants to watch his own upland bird dogs hunt. For the hunter that wants to enjoy the day free from other pheasant hunters. That is what our MAHA has to offer.

Continuing through this website will show many successful pheasant hunters and many fine bird dog pictures and letters that prove this ideal. After all, our price is not a hunt stopper. The only thing left is to apply for membership.

Additional motivation includes our Bobwhite Quail. Every upland bird hunter can hunt both quail and pheasant every day of every trip he has and do so without mixing his bird dogs with others. That along with the ability to hunt a different pheasant field every time stepping from the truck, every day of every trip adds the benefit of that little bit extra adventure of seeing new ground.

John,

As you can see we had a good 2005 bird hunting season on Mid America land. 100% of our birds came off club land.

 

I just want to thank you for convincing me to join Mid America years ago. Club land has provided me more than enough access and bird opportunities to work my Brittany's Rosie 5 and Banner (her 1.5 yr old pup) had a great year pointing and retrieving.

 

If you are looking for a hunting club, talk to John. He runs a good shop. Believe me I used to belong to the other club in town. There is no comparison!

 

Happy Hunting, Gaylen

 

Devil in the details...

Comments from prospective pheasant hunters before membership application include such analysis of why must they pay for three states of pheasant hunts when they plan to pheasant hunt only in Kansas.

The reality of our membership costs is that no one hunter is paying enough money to cover all the leases he will hunt. Having multiple hunters paying for the land is far more economical approach to securing more land. Besides within our approach we do not expect every hunter to hunt all three states. If we did we would have to increase our costs to secure more land.

This typically leads into the next question of how can we lease so much land and not over populate it with hunters. The answer is that we do not cater to just pheasant hunters or upland bird hunters in general. We allow Mule and Whitetail Deer; Eastern and Rio Grande Turkey; goose and duck hunting as well. Add to this that 44% of our membership is non-resident to our locality and that hunters travel from 36 states with many hunting a week a year and it quickly becomes apparent hunters will not be crossing the tracks of others or mixing their dogs.

The real confidence the pheasant hunter has that he will be able to pheasant hunt wild birds as a do it yourself hunter is a business decision made back in 1965 to cater to only such hunters as an efficient business cost benefit operating basis.

This means we are opposed to a hunting club or preserve mentality of escorting hunters. We realize that the only reason any hunter, pheasant, duck, deer, would return is if they have a good hunt they will come back. That is what we seek and work towards.

Now back to the original Kansas pheasant hunter question of why pay to hunt or have access to such a large amount of land. The answer is that the pheasant hunter is not. But, he and the deer and turkey hunter are and each may use the same land at different times for different purpose and not adversely impact on the other.

Kansas Member/Hunter Feedback

Here's a couple of shots from last week (youth weekend - 16 yrs and younger / prior to opening day for everyone else).

This was Joe's and Daisy's first rooster. It was a great weekend. We saw a lot of birds, but only had 3 roosters in shooting range. Joe bagged only one, but it was a great shot and retrieve for the team.


I was very pleased with Daisy this weekend (opener). We got 4 birds (three pheasant, one quail) in the bag and could have had 3 more easily. I lost one and just outright missed 2 easy shots. Six or more birds got up in each of the two misses and I just got two excited.

The wind was terrible [Kansas]. Only when it calmed down a bit was she able to pick up the scent, track the bird down and flush it. She had numerous perfect flushes. I read her all the way and she ran the birds down and flushed them. She maintained in control throughout. It was great. She's going to be a great bird dog. Once it gets cooler and she increases her stamina....watch out!
