Condition Comments: |
I started my hunt Friday. Conditions were rough as it was raining and was tough to find tracks. In spite of this condition, Lance found a recent track. It was so wet dogs couldn't keep trail on cat and this is normal. We got rained out on day two. Wade had people trying to find tracks in his other areas. Day three he had assembled several teams. Wade had a track by four am. By 8 the other scouters had tracks in two other areas. I stuck with Wade. We had two cats treed that we passed on. I harvested a Tom later on the third day of a six day hunt. I'm very happy the quality of this Tom. |

SUMMARY
REMARKS |
 |
| Problems
of Hunt: |
Wade was highly recommended by Carter of the Hunting Fool. He also has good credible references who all were consistent. He works very hard to put you on a quality cat. He has a very solid team whom he used four extra scouters plus himself to put me on a cat. I look forward to more hunts with Wade such as antelope, elk, and Shiras moose. |
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Wade is adept at cat hunting. He can hustle to get you to position. This was a hunt not for the unconditioned. I worked hard to prep for this hunt. The team were in shape and very competent. |
| Equipment
Recommendations: |
Sitka gear base layers and outer layers. Danner pronghorn or similar boot |
| Would You
Recommend This Hunt to a Friend? |
yes |
| Why? |
Wade worked extremely hard with his crew to make sure my tag was filled. He treats his guides whom I hunted with him too as equals. Wade and all guides were friendly and professional, yet fun. I hope to hunt with his son or with Lance next year for elk. I recommend him unequivocally and without reservation. |
