Private Land Deer Hunting - Iowa, Kansas, Missouri

Deer hunting on over 200,000 acres of private land in Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. Covers archery, modern gun and muzzleloader seasons.

We are Mid-America Hunting Association that since 1965 secures lease land for Association hunter exclusive use. Our approach is simple. For one annual cost all may hunt any our land in all three of our states any time during the season. We also encourage pre-season scouting. All hunts are self guided.

The three elements we provide the hunter is first the private land access. Second, we offer recommendations from the two Association partners, Jon Nee and John Wenzel, of where to hunt right to the point of where to park the truck, step out and hunt. The third aspect is a local lodging listing inclusive of motels, campgrounds, meat locker and tow truck services. The hunter provides the rest of his hunt in terms of skill and equipment.

How it works is if we allocate anyone a membership they gain access to an online library of land maps. Each farm on each map sheet is numbered. The maps are the basis of conversation of where to get started. Each hunter is welcome to take these recommendations as a jump start and build out from there being able to select form any of the Association lands to scout or hunt.

Most hunters will cover somewhere between 2,000 to 4,000 acres of land fairly quickly settling on 3 to 5 farms they would consider first choice spots. That hunter would then make a telephone reservation to a live person for the farms he wants to hunt for the days he has available. Each may select from day to day which farm to hunt changing locations or staying put to any one or to several spots.

That same hunter may return year to year to the same collection of farms. On each trip he may add to his places he may want to hunt. That same hunter may also spring turkey hunt for the same cost. Using spring season as a chance to further his deer scouting or to break into another of our three states. Typically by the third year, most hunters are deer hunting two of our three states rotating one state each year and spring turkey hunting at least one.
