 Hunting professionally for twenty years
across Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Mexico, Hugh Fadal built a
reputation among hard working hunters as a hard working guide who always
has his client's best interest in mind, while providing extraordinary
customer service at all times. His easy going yet meticulous personality
has so impressed clients, that annual hunts with lasting clientele have
become tradition.
With a wealth of resources to choose from
and friends throughout the business, Hugh stays informed of the hunting
communities highs and lows, and remains committed to seeking out and
researching new land all the time.
A steward of the land and friend to the
environment, Hugh continues to excel at interpreting the language of the
wild, practicing conservation through game and habitat management, and
satisfying the most demanding of trophy hunters, year after year.
Hugh Fadal was brought up hunting and fishing in Llano Texas, on a
beautiful hill country deer lease shared by his family for over 70
years. There, as a youngster Hugh watched his father harvest deer, dove,
quail, ducks, and various predators, with a variety of weapons in a
variety of ways. Coming up in a world of guns and ammo, dogs and camo,
bows, arrows, and knives, Hugh essentially never stood a chance -
especially after taking his first buck with his Dad, and learning to
wing shoot. As a teenager, he spent nights reloading box after box of
shotgun shells for dove, quail, and ducks, as well as trap and skeet.
From high school through
college, when he wasn't working in the fishing department of a local
sporting goods store, Hugh was on the lakes sacking up crappie, white
bass, and striper as well as tying his own flies for the big largemouth
bass and bluegill that lived in neighboring ponds. At the age of 16,
Hugh began guiding his hometown associates on duck hunts, deer hunts,
varmint hunts, and fishing trips, mostly just for the fun of it.

night, rain or shine, Hugh was always hunting or fishing somewhere, and
those that know him best will tell you that his desire to be outdoors
has never waned. By the time he graduated college in beautiful San
Marcos Texas, hunting professionally was still just a dream, but in
1994, after accepting a guide position with Buckhorn Outfitters in
Wyoming, that dream became a reality. Hunting elk, antelope, and mule
deer in the big country was new to him, but Hugh learned quickly and was
immediately invited back, thus kicking off a string of annual fall road
trips that still occur to this day. After several years of guiding in
Wyoming and Montana, Hugh hired on with Sierra Grande Outfitters in
Colorado, and enjoyed another decade of pursuing trophy animals on
magnificent private ranch land.
Today, Hugh still hunts
professionally as well as recreationally throughout the fall and winter
months, mostly with a bow, and fishes both fresh and saltwater regularly
throughout the summer months. You can always find Hugh with Courtney,
his wife of 9 years, and odds are there's a guitar nearby as well, since
music is another one of Hugh's passions. A writer by nature, he has copy
written and published dozens of original songs, written and produced two
separate records, and is nearing the completion of his first book, a
compilation of short stories detailing some of his all time favorite
hunting and fishing trips. To check out some of his musical
