Deer lease
Overview |
A good example of what it means to hunt within the
55%
agricultural land use region of Missouri where the
better deer hunting is to be found. For every 1,000
acres we lease 550 with be in crop. Of the 450 acres
remaining not all will be good deer cover. If 200 acres
is good deer cover then we have a good deer lease. That
good deer habitat will be where the tractor and plow
cannot go and will be within the drainages of the
watersheds. That is the nature of central mid-west
deer hunting leases where farming is very efficient and the deer
have plenty of food to grow big.

Variety
If interested in a variety of game on the same
hunting trip
or during the same season be it muzzleloader deer or other, it’s available at no extra charge. Muzzleloader deer hunting in the morning and in Missouri moving to a quail or duck
hunt in the afternoon is common on some of our leases. Walking up a pheasant
and/or a covey of quail without a dog is very possible, but a dog is
definitely an advantage. Our Missouri waterfowl
hunting on our private wetlands and fixed blinds offers another
opportunity. This is enhanced as many MAHA waterfowl
hunters welcome other members to share their blind and decoys on the
same day. The late November and early December Missouri muzzleloader
deer season is a prime time to jump shoot
waterfowl from corn fields, ponds, creeks and lakes. If
spring turkey hunting is desired, Missouri claims number one status of the
sport. It’s common to see winter flocks of 30 plus birds from while
fall deer hunting. If a good flock of birds is located and are comfortable with
that farm, mark your calendar to make reservations for spring turkey
season. Many of our small farms never see a hunter
during the spring turkey season.
To keep our costs down, we don’t provide
lodging. Our website has a
listing by state and county of local hotels, motels and bed and
breakfast within 15 to 30 minutes of our Missouri deer lease land. Camping is
permitted on a limited basis. Many other hunter services (meat
locker, tow truck) are provided by
our MAHA Yellow Pages.
We always want feedback from all members about their
deer hunts. This email is one such example of the positive
feedback we receive. We do not expect all feedback to
tell of good deer hunts and this website contains
other example of less than desirable hunts to represent
balance about our hunt quality.
Jon and Staff,
I just returned from my annual mid west deer hunting
trip, and I wanted to take a moment to send you a thank
you note for the excellent service that you provide. I
really enjoy being a member, and I’m really impressed
with how well you deliver on what you promise. You
certainly do provide hassle free access to some of the
best leased deer hunting land in the mid west, and your
service helps make my hunting fun.
This was my fifth year hunting with the association.
In those five years, I have killed two bucks. This year,
I saw and passed on more antlered deer than I can count,
and I also saw more turkeys in five days than I have
ever seen in my life. The quality of the habitat was
excellent, and I did not encounter another hunter in the
field. It was just a total pleasure.
Last year’s deer scored 144, and I’ve set a personal
standard that I’m only going to shoot bucks that are
larger than I have shot before. As such, I probably will
not shoot many more antlered deer, but I’ll have a
possibility on your deer leases, and the trips are fun
regardless of whether I kill something or not.
Again, thank you for your excellent service. Please
keep up the good work.
