Deer Hunting Pressure
We currently have over 160,000 leased acres in Missouri, Kansas and Iowa spread across 80 counties. MAHA has a total of 951 deer hunting spots. The average deer spot is 160 acres m/l.
In 2021-2022 we had a total of 392 deer hunters. This included the archery, muzzloader, and the firearms deer seasons in Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa.
If all 392 deer hunters hunted at the same time, that would average 429 acres per deer hunter. Not all of our land has a huntable deer population, but most of it does.
Below is a deer hunting pressure report for the 2021 – 2022 season for gun, muzzleloader and archery with the number of counties, acreage and number of deer spots listed by each state.
Trophy Restrictions
The Association does not have trophy restrictions. The vast majority of our deer hunters are looking to harvest a four plus year old animal. We encourage everyone to hunt the deer of their choice and believe the “Trophy” is in the eye of the beholder. Youth hunters may harvest any legal buck or doe.
Doe Harvest
M.A.H.A. does not have any doe harvest requirements. Our landowners encourage hunters to harvest a doe or two each season.
