Iowa pheasant hunting with Mid-America Hunting Association is in southern Iowa with overlapping pheasant and Bobwhite Quail populations. It is on private land for self guided hunting, on wild pheasants and quail only.

This Association exists for the individual and small group hunter who first seeks a good hunting experience of watching their own dogs on pheasant action. No gang, party or drive hunting permitted.

How To make A Self Guided Pheasant Hunt

Give us a call. In that first discussion we will determine if we are a good fit for each other. If so and the hunter is allocated a membership he will gain access to an online map library of all the Association's Iowa hunting land along with that of Kansas and Missouri. Those hunting maps will serve as the common reference for further telephone conversations about where to hunt for pheasant or quail.

Once the hunter sets his hunting dates and for where he wants to hunt he starts with a telephone reservation to a live person for immediate confirmation of that reservation. In that reservation conversation he will reserve a block of hunting land for his initial three days of his hunt. Those three days may be in the same general area or spread out to several different counties. That choice is of that hunter's. During or before the end of those three days he calls again to plan where he would like to continue hunting and so on. The three day limit will never deny a person to hunt. It is reflection of reality that hunters change their plans dependant on weather and hunting conditions as their hunt unfolds. A flexible approach most appreciate to be better than being struck to just a small amount of acreage.

All will be able to be hunting on their schedule throughout the season. The telephone reservation system is a hunter pressure management control to prevent overlap.

After the telephone reservation the pheasant hunter simply drives from home to his hunting spot, steps out of his truck, put out his dogs and is hunting. No wasted time tracking down landowners. No knocking on doors.

Advantages

Comfort in the idea that the hunter will have more hunting land to hunt each day than daylight hours to walk.

No one needs to cross his tracks. Having the ability to step out onto a different field each time doing so every day of the trip gives that adventure of covering new ground.

No mixing of dogs with others. Most tell of how they change from counting birds in the bag to taking pictures of their dogs on point or retrieve.

Avoidance of the public lands hunting mentality of get them before the other guy. This Association has a gray hair factor drawn from those that find value in paid hunting being more seasoned having gone all the other routes first.

Traveling Hunters

We have worked for many decades back to our 1965 establishment date working with those that must travel across state lines for the better upland bird hunting. Between the online hunting land maps and our online lodging listing that includes tow truck and veterinary services all will have a plan before leaving home. That plan will also have a Part A and a Part B to accommodate and weather change.

Hunt plans can be changed through a telephone call.

About Iowa's Habitat And Hunting

Iowa is well known throughout the upland bird hunter community. This is deservedly so in spite of recent laminations by magazine article writers about the demise of tall grass CRP. What many must be reminded of is that there was good wild pheasant populations before there was CRP.

At this point another set of pundits enter into the fray stating that before CRP the farming practices left more wildlife areas. Older less efficient farming made upland bird populations what they were before CRP. Undoubtedly so we must agree.

However, in spite of the bulldozer land clearing another impact has been the large corporation farm. Something that did not exist during less efficient farming periods and tyo the benefit of the pheasant.
