    A good friend of mine and I drove from Texas to Kansas in the early part of January for a guided…read morepredator hunt by Mr Rader. I am by no means an expert predator hunter but have been predator hunting for over 40 years. I thought it would be nice to come to Kansas and be guided. I've always wanted to hunt in Kansas and did not have any contacts so I hired this "guide"service. Mr. Rader does not know much about predator hunting. As most of you know, it's important to be down wind from whatever you're hunting, especially coyotes. This was not an important factor to him whatsoever. And when brought to his attention, in a very diplomatic way (to begin with),he simply ignored me. It is also important to get to your hunting quietly , without using bright lights. This was not a factor for him either as every time we walked into an area to hunt on the first night he had a bright white headlight that he used while walking into the area where we were hunting and to put the call out. That was a bad deal, coupled, with the fact that he had no thermal optic to observe what was going on while attempting to call in coyotes and would have to talk to us the whole time in a loud voice, which was also a dead giveaway. If you decide to use this guide service, don't expect to go to each location with him in a hunting vehicle that he provides. I did not know this and had to take my suburban into some of the worst stuff you can imagine. If I had known, I would have brought my hunting vehicle. The locations that we hunted had been hunted many times And the coyotes "educated". But, after hunting for about five hours the first night we did manage to call in and kill two coyotes when he finally put us on locations with the proper wind direction. On the second night, we followed him to several locations where he allowed us to hunt while he just stayed in the truck. We saw nothing the second night. He has a very nice demeanor, but has no business, holding himself out as a predator hunting guide and taking people's money. This hunt was a rip off. The only reason he gets one star is because that's the lowest review can be given. Review given on 1/14/26 by Bill Morian, Jasper, Texas.

    Went on my first trip with Rader lodge this year and had a great time! we killed plenty of pheasant…read moreand even got into several covey of quail. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to get into some good hunting in Kansas!
