Blinds are permitted, either manufactured or natural. Cutting into a cedar will make for a well camouflaged blind. The cedar tree in the mid-west is a nuisance that most farmers welcome being cut, trees in a windbreak should be left alone.

Snakes are not likely to be encountered while spring turkey hunting.

Bugs may require spray during the latter half of spring  season. Spring turkey season hunters will encounter ticks. Fall turkey season the ticks are gone. No cactus.

Group or Single. For groups we can recommend large areas that all can travel from the same truck and each be in areas not pressured by others. Or groups may reserve the same property.

Members make their own lodging reservations using the MAHA yellow pages as a reference.

Notice how open the habitat is in both pictures. About as wooded as it gets.

MAHA owner, Jon Nee, turkey hunts and when he has a bird working him that just doesn't fit the bill the camera comes out. This was such a bird, a respectable tom, a picture of one this close is tougher than shooting it.

Late season Missouri birds.

Long before members leave home they know exactly where they will be turkey hunting and lodge. Members pay for what they want, private land access. They are not paying for a rustic lodge or prepared meals.
