Experience the Diamond Difference for yourself.
Diamond Outfitters, the largest and most trusted full-time guide service in North America, is family owned and operated by United States Air Force Veteran Captain and Safari Club International Hunter of the Year, Dan Adler and his wife Terri. Dan and Terri started Diamond Outfitters in 2004 and on the backs of our Team and with our AMAZING clients and their referrals, we've revolutionized the Western big game hunting experience for everyone.
Today, no other outfitter successfully guides more hunters out West. 100% of our hunts are free-range (no high-fence) hunts. We offer hunts for 17 different trophy animals on over 32,000,000 acres. With 1,800 5-star reviews and growing, and a 94% rebooking rate we look forward to sharing a camp with you.
Proud to be Veteran Owned and Operated
WARNING! If you choose to do business with us, please know the Diamond Outfitters family is unapologetic about our patriotism in camp. Our beliefs about politics and our love for freedom and country are unwavering. We believe America is the greatest country on earth and that, in large part, is due to the Judeo-Christian faith and beliefs She is founded upon. We hold the Constitution near and dear to our hearts, we have a flag in every one of our camps, and there ain’t nobody kneeling in front of it. We know first-hand, that America is the land of the free because of the brave and we aspire to honor those men and women during every hunt through our words and our deeds. If any of this offends you, please hire another outfitter.
The Diamond Outfitters story is one of faith, family, trust, and an unyielding drive to succeed. After leaving the Air Force, Dan went on a very disappointing guided hunt. Sitting in camp Dan thought, “I can do better, the business can be better, the industry can be better, the reputation of guides should be better and most importantly, the clients deserve better!” Immediately upon his return, Dan started to build the framework for Diamond Outfitters so other hard-working hunters didn’t have to experience disappointment as he did on a guided hunt.
After navigating the growing pains of a new business and adjusting to leaving a government job in the military, things started to drastically improve and 2009 provided some amazing traction for our growing team! Several record book bull elk, plus dozens of giant Coues and mule deer hit the dirt in the early years and, just like that, the word was out about Diamond Outfitters. Today, we have over 1,800 happy clients who will easily provide a reference to you about our operation!
By 2010, momentum was building quickly thanks to our high success rate on trophy animals and unwavering attention to the customer experience. Dan and the team he had assembled were in high demand as hunters from around the world were now seeking them out specifically for their hunting and guiding expertise. In 2011 our client volume tripled thanks to the referrals of our clients, and we’ve been steadily increasing ever since.
Dan spent over a decade hosting the most highly-rated hunting television shows in the industry. He began his television career as a co-host of Pulse Factor, an archery-only show on the Sportsman’s Channel. This national attention led to Dan being cast as co-host of The Best of the West TV show in 2013 and over the next ten years, Dan and the Diamond Outfitters crew were featured in dozens of exciting episodes. Take a look at these great hunts on our video page.
Dan’s aptitude for public speaking (a carryover from his Air Force career) thrust Diamond Outfitters onto the public stage. Pretty soon, Dan was regularly sought out to be a featured speaker at hunting and 2nd Amendment related conventions and banquets throughout the West. You can also catch Dan hosting seminars, or as Master of Ceremonies in some capacity at almost all of the large national hunting conventions, and for the Arizona Elk Society each year.
2017 brought another year of amazing growth for the Diamond Outfitters Team. Not only did Dan receive the Safari Club International (SCI) Hunter of the Year award, but he also hired the first (of many) full-time guides. Having a staff of full-time guides was sure to take the business to the next level…and it did!
In 2019 Matt and Jamie Woodward merged their entire outfit, Borderland Adventures, into Diamond Outfitters. Matt is an incredible hunter, an amazing outfitter, and extremely well-versed in the flora, fauna, and history of the areas in which we hunt. As a well-established and respected guide in Arizona, New Mexico, and Sonora, MX, Matt brought a very loyal client base to the Diamond family that we are all happy to call friends. Matt also retained key guides, Andrew Dykes and Johnnie Morris who fit right in as leaders to our growing team. Borderland Adventures outfits all our New Mexico hunts.
In 2020, renowned houndsman Mike Harris merged his black bear and mountain lion operation, HD Trophy hunts, into Diamond Outfitters. With Mike came Layne Chitwood, an incredibly talented guide in his own right. Mike and Layne are absolutely ruthless when in the field and a blast to be in camp with.
That same year, we also welcomed longtime friend and experienced western outfitter Daniel Drown to the Diamond Team full time. Few guides have guided more clients in the past 5-years out West and when you hunt with him you'll see why!
2023 was an amazing year of growth! With the addition of Utah (Outfitter Registration 10753984-7500), Nevada (Master Guide 1511509) and Wyoming (Outfitter Registration BG-019) to our hunts in Arizona, New Mexico and Sonora, Mexico, the future is unbelievably bright for our team and most importantly, our clients. Our clients have more options than ever before!
Our “sister” company Zero Outfitter Fees has revolutionized the Western big game hunting scene. This innovative product is designed to save serious hunters thousands of dollars…and candidly, it’s a “no-brainer” for most of our new clients! Here’s the best part…All ZOF members receive FREE guided hunts with us–no strings attached! HUNT MORE, SPEND LESS with ZOF!
We maintain an unprecedented 94% rebooking rate, with many of those clients leaving a deposit for next year’s hunt before they leave this year’s camp! Of those remaining 6%, 3% of them we learned were not invited back. Transparently, the other 3% that haven't yet rebooked we could have done better with and somehow let them down. We’re currently working to regain their trust and their business – and we're committed to doing that! There is almost no such thing as a one-time client here. We build deep relationships with our clients and they become part of the Diamond Outfitters family!
