Mid-America Hunting Association Iowa hunting options extend beyond
Iowa deer hunts. Turkey being the most preferred secondary interest of deer hunters received its own treatment on our Iowa turkey hunt page. Our Iowa lease land also has good wild quail and pheasant populations and the reason for our abundant Iowa acreage. With Iowa's competitive deer tags limiting the number of deer hunters it is the upland bird hunter that carry's most of the financial burden for the Iowa leases. If we had to depend on the deer hunter for the lease costs we would be able to carry less than half of the current acreage. It is by this economic approach to lease land that each hunter gains more land to choose from while all hunt it at different times. The overall habitat is of many wooded creek bottoms cutting through large grain crop fields of corn and soybean connecting many small wood patches of different sizes and shapes. This is the right combination of cover co-located with food added to southern Iowa's easy winters gives a lot of opportunity for deer, turkey, pheasant and quail to develop. Part of the local geography is a regionally depressed economy of small town farm communities the land investment and large corporate farms have been exploiting through large acreage corporation purchases. This has been a benefit to our collective hunting lease operation as MAHA has the financial wherewithal to lease large acreage contracts that the average hunter or small group of hunters could not afford. This aspect alone has open up a good bit of Iowa land that otherwise no one would be allowed to hunt. What our Iowa hunting land provides is the opportunity to add one more state to the range of do it yourself hunting options of what, when and where to hunt. That provides that extra bit of adventure of new terrain with all the promise of a good self guided Iowa deer, turkey or upland bird hunt.
