Our Team is staffed with both full and part-time guides, spotters, videographers, and apprentices. Our full-time guides are accomplished professional hunters and outfitters who have honed their craft over a lifetime of practicing it. Many of the part-time guides are active or retired members of the United States military, law enforcement officers or other first responders, border patrol agents, local cowboys and career guides/outfitters. We’ve found that the caliber of individuals associated with these industries provides a level of unmatched integrity and is in sync with our company’s mission of providing employment opportunities within the outdoor industry for our Nation’s heroes. See more about our story here.

Yes! Hunters under the age of 18 (at time of the hunt) will receive a 50% discount when hunting with a paid adult during draw hunts in AZ and NM. When the junior hunter is the only hunter, the non-hunter fee for the first parent or guardian is waived. However, the best price structure for all AZ, NM, NV, UT, and WY youth hunts is through Zero Outfitter Fees.

As close as you need it to be to make an ethical shot! Every hunt and every client varies. It’s important to discuss your level of proficiency with your guide before the hunt so they can adjust their strategy accordingly. It’s our job as guides to get you close enough to feel comfortable with taking a shot. Clients who become familiar with their weapon of choice before the season dramatically increase their likelihood of success during their hunt. We’ve outlined our general guidelines for both archery and rifle hunters below.

Rifle Hunts
As a general rule, we ask that our rifle clients be proficient from 250 to 400 yards. Shot opportunities might be further for some species or in areas with broken terrain.

Archery Hunts
Archery clients should expect shots from 40-50 yards during spot and stalk hunts and up to 40 yards from blinds and tree stands. Stretch your abilities before your hunt by practicing out to 60 yards.

Nowadays, it’s just a good idea. You will see an option to buy trip insurance on the contract we send you, or you can procure your own. Red Point Travel Protection provides Diamond Outfitters clients an incredible policy. You can also decline insurance and elect not to protect your trip, it is totally up to you. We highly recommend it in the strongest possible terms.
