DIAMOND OUTFITTERS
Diamond Outfitters is the largest and most successful full-time guide service in North America. This family-owned business is operated by United States Air Force Veteran Captain and Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Command pilot, Dan Adler and his wife Terri. Dan and Terri started Diamond Outfitters in 2006 and quickly became the largest full-time outfitter for bull elk, mountain lion, black bear, oryx, and Coues deer in North America. We are also well known in the industry for our world-class mule deer and antelope hunts, plus Desert and Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep and amazing exotics like ibex and aoudad!
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.

OUR STORY…
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 the comfort of 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 1,700 happy clients who will easily provide a reference to you about our operation!

GROWING DIAMOND OUTFITTERS

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.

2013
THE PUBLIC STAGE OF THE HUNTING WORLD
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 examples 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.

2021 The Year For Waldo!
2023 AND BEYOND GROWING FORWARD…
2023 has been such an amazing year of growth! With the addition of Utah (Outfitter Registration 10753984-7500), Nevada (Master Guide 1511509) and Wyoming (Outfitter Registration BG-019), the future is unbelievably bright for our Team and most importantly, our clients. As of 2023, we now hunt 17 big-game species in five states and two countries on over 30 million acres of public and private land. 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!
We maintain an unprecedented 90% 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 10%, 5% of them voted for the current administration and were not invited back, and, transparently, the other 5% we could have done better with. We’re currently working to regain their trust and their business – no other outfitter is 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!
Be sure to listen to the Podcast “The Hunt with Matt and Dan” to hear news, stories and interviews with the Diamond Outfitters crew and to stay “in the know” about everything Western big game hunting. God bless your families, God bless America and thank you for taking your time to consider Diamond Outfitters!
The 61 Diamond guides and team members are great Americans you will be glad to know. There is almost no such thing as a one-time client here, you become part of our family.
