The wow effect is full. Congratulations on two fine deer on your first MAHA hunt. That puts the pressure on us for this fall. Thank you for sending in your pictures.
All pictures on this web site are by the hunters typically with pocket cameras. Fuzzy, poor light and other faults are to be expected. Unlike an outfitter with posed deer in front or their lodge sign and high quality camera. we like the self guided get by with what he can type of hunter that knows Whitetail Deer hunting is as hard as it is.
MAHA whitetail deer hunting covers Kansas, Iowa and Missouri for archery, firearms and muzzleloader seasons allowing hunts for every season the hunter has a tag.
Members scout and hunt on their own, state and habitat of their choice, on their schedule, on 200,000+ acres of private lease land and without competition from others.
Do it yourself whitetail deer hunts allows the hunter to select from all available legal and safe means to employ as he sees fit. Stand, ground blind, stalking, etc. This is opposed to a whitetail deer hunting guide service where the hunter is told how to hunt.
Hunters may also have a tradition of returning to the same area to hunt each year and thoroughly determine patterns.
The choices continue with selection of what state to deer hunt and preferred habitat. Once narrowed down the hunter then selects by his own scouting or is recommended to several leases. On these properties he employs as many stands, blinds as he has time to hunt.
What MAHA brings is not one place to whitetail deer hunt, but the hunter having too much to select from with the hunter left to decide where not to hunt by tens of thousands of acres. No longer is the hunter deciding between one or two places. He is choosing to select a couple of thousands acres to concentrate on.
A common practice of the first time mid-west whitetail deer hunter is to take the Association land maps, get aerial photos and more often than not will reserve land with the most amount of wooded ground believing it is better whitetail deer habitat.
An alternative approach we have found to result in more success is to secure the aerials and find those wood patches regardless of size that are isolated from direct observation from roads and farm yards and scout those spots first. Whitetail deer find these spots to loaf and to be left alone.
For more trophy whitetail deer see our scouting section where several pages show live whitetail deer captured on film and several ground and aerial photo layouts all intended to give a greater understanding of our productive deer habitat.
We are a self guided deer hunter organization that caters to the hunter that only requires access to good habitat and does not want the work of knocking on doors or competing on public land.
We will get the hunter to the point he parks his truck, steps out and hunts on the right whitetail habitat, in the right region of the state that has a history of production. We take the mystery out of where to hunt and then give that whitetail hunter several spots to hunt to insure he has flexibility during the hunt.
