Deer Stands
This page on deer stands adds to taking away some of the mystery about our deer hunting lease conditions for those new to the Missouri, Kansas or Iowa.
Pictured below is a typical deer stand placement (in this case sent in by one of our senior and very dedicated trophy whitetail hunters) that may be found on our southern Iowa, all of Missouri and most of eastern Kansas.
Mid-America Hunting Association allows all types of deer stands as long as what is put in a tree can be and is taken down by the hunter at the end of the hunt or the season. Stands may be placed at the hunter's risk of loss. Deer stands to include climbers and screw in steps are permissible. More than 90% of our deer hunters spend the entire hunting season in stands. The few that walk up or still hunt while having some success do not compare favorably to the better success of those hunting from stands.
The only value these pictures provide is to remove one more unknown aspect about our deer hunting. Looking closely will show a ladder, then climbing sticks and a lock-on. Deer hunters should bring far more lock-ons than climbers. Our tree grow out as much as up rendering climbers useless most of the time.
