About Us
Mid-America Hunting Association (MAHA) has been a trusted provider of private leased land hunting in Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa since 1965.
As a member, you’ll have the choice of hunt deer hunting, turkey hunting, pheasant hunting, quail hunting, duck hunting, goose hunting , or even fishing. Our lands have been carefully scouted and leased directly from owners by Jon Nee, our owner since 1982. With over 150,000+ acres across 73 counties.
All our farms are mapped with county road maps and aerial photos, complete with GPS coordinates for your convenience. To enhance your hunting experience, we’ve implemented a telephone and online reservation system, allowing you to make reservations 24/7 either for the same day or up to 30 days in advance.
Jon Nee Sr.
Jon Sr. graduated from the University of Missouri in 1980 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism. He began working with the club shortly after and, in 1982, acquired ownership. At that time, the organization was known as the Mid-America Game Bird Association, reflecting its focus on upland bird and waterfowl hunting. As demand grew for deer and turkey hunting, the name was changed to the Mid-America Hunting Association.
Jon Sr. personally negotiates and maintains every lease agreement—some of which have been part of the club since the early 1980s. A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, he has dedicated his career to fostering strong landowner relationships and ensuring quality hunting opportunities for members.
Jon Nee Jr.
Jon Jr. has been immersed in the outdoor industry from an early age, accompanying his father on hunts, fishing trips, landowner visits, and land scouting since he was old enough to walk.
Over the years, he has secured several high-quality leases for the club and assisted with many more. His work has included wetlands management, posting property, mapping, and member recruitment—roles he has taken on both full- and part-time. Driven by a lifelong passion for the outdoors, Jon Jr. continues to play an active role in supporting and strengthening the Association.
Susie Russell
Susie manages the day-to-day operations of MAHA and is often the first friendly voice members hear when calling the Club. As Office Manager, she wears many hats, but her primary focus is supporting member needs.
She is the go-to resource for both new and longtime members, assisting with access to the online map and reservation system and answering questions as they arise. Susie also creates and maintains MAHA’s maps, aerial photos, and GPS coordinates for more than 1,000 farms currently under lease.
Bruce Johnson
Bruce has been a valued member of the MAHA team since 1984. Each fall, he takes the lead in building and covering duck blinds, gathering rippy grass, and assisting in all aspects of wetland maintenance.
Over the years, Bruce and Jon Sr. have worked side by side to cover more than 600 duck blinds, developing not only an efficient partnership but also a lasting friendship.
