DIAMOND OUTFITTERS
Diamond Outfitters, the largest and most successful 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 today, no other outfitter successfully guides more elk, mule deer or Coues deer hunters anywhere in North America. Diamond Outfitters is also extremely well known for its incredible pronghorn antelope, Desert Big Horn Sheep, mountain lion, black bear, oryx, turkey hunts and more in Arizona, New Mexico and Sonora, Mexico. In 2013, Dan began co-hosting The Best of the West TV show and since then, dozens of Diamond Outfitters clients hunts in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico have aired. In addition to the woods and on television, you can meet Dan speaking, teaching, 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.
If you are a liberal, exit this page now, you are about to be triggered! Please know the Diamond Outfitters family is unapologetic in our camps about our politics, our religion, our love for freedom and our country. 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 our camps, and there ain’t nobody kneeling in front of it. We know first-hand, America is the land of the free because of the brave, we aspire to honor them every hunt in our words and our deeds. It is commonplace to have our wives and children in our camps too because, well, that’s what life is all about.

OUR STORY…
Diamond Outfitters story is truly one of faith, family, trust and an unyielding drive to succeed. Immediately upon leaving the United States Air Force, Dan opened the business after going on a disappointing guided hunt. In that 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”!
Although the first couple years may have provided a steep learning curve after leaving the comforts of a government job for the life of an entrepreneur in the outdoors, year 3 provided some amazing traction for the team. In addition to several 370’ plus bulls, several giant Coues, mule deer and a few stunning pronghorn hit the dirt and the word was out about Diamond Outfitters. Today, we have over 1,500 happy clients that will happily provide a reference to you about our operation!

2010
GROWING DIAMOND OUTFITTERS
By 2010 the phone was steadily ringing, and Dan’s hunting and guiding skills, along with the other team members, became high in demand. After averaging 10-15 clients per year the first several years, in 2011 our client volume tripled, and (thanks to the referrals of our clients) it has been steadily increasing ever since. Today Diamond Outfitters is not only the largest outfitter in the state of Arizona, but we believe we are also the largest full-time Veteran owned guide business in North America.

2013
THE PUBLIC STAGE OF THE HUNTING WORLD
Dan’s public speaking (a carryover from his Air Force career) thrust Diamond Outfitters onto the public stage of the hunting world and in addition to being a featured speaker at hunting and 2nd Amendment conventions and banquets, Dan began his television career as a co-host of the archery only tv show, Pulse Factor on the Sportsman’s Channel. This national attention later led to Dan being cast as co-host of The Best of the West TV show in 2013 which, to this day, is one of the most popular hunting tv shows in both the United States and Canada. Dan also maintains an Arizona Pro-Agent Best of the West dealership for our clients. Currently, Dan hosts anywhere from 4-8 Best of the West TV shows per year.
