Costs, Hunting Pressure and Private Land Acreage

Home > Hunting Index > Costs/Pressure/Acrage

Organizational integrity drives one cost structure for all Association hunters. No specials, no discounts, no deals for anyone.

Full analysis is possible when comparing to actual hunting pressure, private land acreage and that of season days.

Mid-America Hunting Association Membership Levels
Type	First year	Second Year
Individual	$1,500	1,200
Spouses	2,300	1,950

Adding a spouse to any of the membership levels add 800 the first year, then 750 the second. Add .0785 sales tax to all costs above.

Each Association hunter with paying the costs above gains access to all Association private land in our three state region of Kansas, Iowa and Missouri.

All membership levels are for all seasons meaning: Mule and Whitetail Deer, Eastern and Rio Grande Turkey; Pheasant and quail; duck and goose. To further clarify available seasons includes all state regulated upland bird and waterfowl game species. For those with children Cotton Tail Rabbit and squirrel hunting is available. No other species whether available or permitted within state hunting regulations is available within this Association.

Pre-season scouting is encouraged for deer and turkey.

No one hunts all of the available land or seasons as no one has that level energy. We track all based on their primary and secondary hunting interest with subordinate membership caps on each as a means to insure we never have too many of any one type of hunter.

Not all who have the ability to pay our costs will be offered a membership. Not all who quality for membership will find openings available.

Membership costs also includes fishing access to all waters.

Costs will increase over time. Past cost increases have ranged from a low of $13 to a high of $65 in one year.

No hidden costs. No daily use or special land fees. Our costs are one time annual payments for a 365 day year from the date the fee is paid until that anniversary the next calendar year.

Compare Costs To Hunting Pressure

The numbers in the tables below are the number of hunters that made at least one day's reservation per state for that hunting interest.

The numbers are not cumulative. This means that the same hunter that went waterfowl and upland bird hunting may be counted multiple times, or once in each category such as Missouri waterfowl hunting and Kansas upland bird hunting. Deer hunters are more likely to duplicate themselves by bow hunting more than one state each season as well as most also turkey hunt. To analyze hunting pressure take each number by state and category in isolation. Compare that hunting pressure number to acreage available and season days. The end point is most will see they are not likely to bump heads with others.
