A top notch consultant

I had researched elk hunts for over three months online when I decided to use Crosshair Conslting. Wade Derby was extremely informative. He gave me his honest opion on every hunt he offered and would not send me to anyone he had not already worked with. He knows the quides he works with and what they are capable of. I can not praise Wade enough for his excellent recomendation. My hunting party of three had a 100% success taking a 5x5 a 6x6 that scored 330 and my 6x8 that scored 322. A foot note here** Wade was the ONLY person to make sure I took the ongoing wolf pressure into account before booking. So why not let the pro's who know, help you plan the hunt of your dreams like I did?

Reviewer Comments: The hunt I went on was hunt 3 on www.crosshairconsulting.com. Wade Derby books high quality hunts with excellent outfitters. If you are looking for high quality hunts this is the place to book through. This elk hunts was outstanding. Over 30 plus bulls over six days. I harvested a nice 6x5 bull that was 40 inches wide. Highly recommned this to any archery elk hunter

Reviewer Comments: Excellent hunt in the Chewore Consession of Zimbabwe. I saw over a hundred Buffalo and many other species. Took a nice Klipspringer, Impala, Hippo, Buffalo, Waterbuck and a Baboon. Zimabwean people are very friendly and i had no problems. The camp was the best i have ever been in anywhere. Wade is a good guy very honest and sincere. Call him for a great hunt for Buff 925-679-9232

Reviewer Comments: I have hunted through Wade's services on four different hunts. From economy hunts to 'all inclusive' hunts, Wade will tell you upfront what to expect. Wade has personally hunted with most of the outfitters that he 'books' for, so he speaks from experience. While success can be measured several ways, enjoying yourself and having the opportunity to hunt quality game is my personal goal. Wade has helped me achieve this through his service. In closing, I would like to add that I am planning my fifth hunt through CrossHair Consulting as I complete this review.
