From Donald N. Colvin.... During my many years of hunting, I have used several guides. My experiences with each hunt and guide have differed substantially. I have come to understand what makes an acceptable guide and I know what makes a great guide. Bruce Hudson is a great guide. In 2007 I finally drew an antelope tag in Arizona. Since this tag was so precious, I wanted to make sure I was going to have a great hunt. When I first spoke with Bruce on the phone, I quickly ascertained that I was dealing with a real hunter and a first rate guide. Bruce had already thoroughly scouted the area BEFORE we got there and was very familiar with the terrain and where the animals were. I was also thoroughly impressed to hear that Bruce used quality optics. When we got into camp he had three pairs of Swarovski binoculars (one of which he was kind enough to loan me), a range finder, and a Swarovski spotting scope (with three different mounts). Great guides scout and use top quality optics, Bruce had these areas thoroughly covered. Bruce ran an excellent camp and worked well with the other guide. Bruce's equipment was all first rate and his hunting skills were superb. He was attentive to my needs as a hunter and client. My hunt would have been a great hunt even if I hadn't taken a buck. However, a little luck and a lot of work on Bruce's part, produced a magnificent animal which will make Arizona book! I am told it was the biggest Antelope buck taken in that unit and one of the biggest in the state taken this year. Bruce is a professional hunter and guide and it's obvious he takes great pride in it. At the conclusion of my hunt, I offered Bruce my personal and professional recommendation should he need it. I have never applied in Nevada, but now that I have found such a great guide I will be applying for all the Nevada hunts and look forward to using Bruce as my exclusive guide. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I recommend Bruce Hudson, of SilverGrand Outfitters. Sincerely, Donald N. Colvin Newport Beach, CA. From Bob Brigham.... I have had the good fortune to hunt several times with Mr. Hudson for both elk and javalina in Arizona. I consistently request Bruce when I set up a hunt and do so for several reasons. 1. Bruce prepares well for the hunts - scouting for the animals as well as looking for favorable campsites. He is knowledgeable about the areas we hunt and about the habits of the game we are pursuing. Each day he has a carefully thought out plan for the time and place to hunt throughout the day. At the end of each day Bruce uses the accumulated knowledge from the hunt to plan ahead for the next day. No one can guarantee a filled tag but Bruce insures the best chances possible and understands that a successful hunt can occur weather or not the tags get filled. 2. Bruce is professional both in his approach to the hunt and to the set up and operation of the camp. His campsites are extremely neat and clean. The food is well planned, prepared, and served. He has all the essential camping and safety equipment as well as some well designed comfort features such as his bathroom facilities. He is prepared for unexpected events and emergency situations. Bruce is very professional in his pre hunt correspondence and in his in-camp demeanor. He is extremely attentive to the needs of his hunters and goes out of his way to make the hunt a pleasant experience regardless of the weather, abundance of game, or unexpected complications such as impassible roads or incursions from other hunters. 3. Bruce can accommodate a wide range of hunter's needs and interests. As an example he has enabled me to get my now 96 year old uncle out into the field in search of elk and javalina. His last hunt was at age 92 and it took some extra planning and preparation to accommodate his limitations. Bruce did this well and with great supportive attitude towards the challenge. 4. Bruce adheres strictly to the ethical code of conduct for hunters and makes the game laws clear to those who hunt with him. He offers no exceptions to the fish and game regulations nor to the ethical standard of a fair chase hunt. He mandates and understanding and compliance with hunter safety standards and I always feel our hunts will be safe, legal, and ethically solid. For these reasons I look forward to my Arizona and Nevada hunts and make sure I let Bruce know well ahead of time to make sure I have a good chance of getting on his schedule. I am happy to offer this recommendation and to answer any follow up questions. Sincerely, Bob Brigham Jacksonville, FL. From Paul H. English.... I have known Bruce Hudson since 1995. I have been on 3 hunts guided by Bruce; one early bull elk hunt (unsuccessful), one javelina hunt (successful) and one Merriam's turkey hunt (successful). All hunts were outstanding due to the fact that Bruce is extremely experienced in his trade. Even the elk hunt, which I elected not to shoot, Bruce provided me with 15 opportunities to harvest a quality bull. He knows how and where to hunt each species of game animal, making the hunting not only enjoyable, but successful. He is extremely well prepared for the areas we are hunting, including knowledge of the terrain we will be hunting and weather conditions we may encounter. Bruce provides outstanding accommodations in the field and his culinary skills are beyond reproach. Mr. Hudson is a man of enormous character and sense of pride. He knows hunting regulations and his hunter ethics are impeccable. Bruce is always cognizant of what the hunter requires out of the hunt and has always delivered to my expectations. He strives for a total quality experience and I have never been disappointed. Bruce is more like hunting with a friend than a guide as he treats you like a person, not just a client. He is an easy person to talk to and answers any questions about the hunt I may have. Few people I have ever known could compare with Bruce not only as a person, but as hunting guide.
