Overview

Diamond Outfitters is a veteran-owned, family-operated big game hunting guide service based in Arizona and operating across the western United States and into Sonora, Mexico. Founded in 2006 by Dan Adler, a U.S. Air Force veteran and Yavapai County Sheriff's Office command pilot, and his wife Terri, the company has grown into what it describes as the largest full-time guide service in North America. Its core markets are Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, and Sonora, Mexico, where it offers guided hunts for species including bull elk, mule deer, Coues deer, oryx, mountain lion, black bear, antelope, bighorn sheep, ibex, and aoudad. The company differentiates itself through three main hunt-access pathways: landowner hunts that allow clients to skip the draw for guaranteed yearly tags; a Zero Outfitter Fees (ZOF) membership program that provides free guided trophy hunts during select premium draw hunts in five states; and over-the-counter (OTC) hunts that require no draw or landowner tag. Diamond Outfitters also provides an in-house concierge application service to handle draw applications for clients across multiple states. Diamond Outfitters markets itself as a full-service outfitter with a strong patriotic and faith-based identity, stating that it is "unapologetic about our patriotism in camp." Many of its guides are veterans and first responders. The company reports having well over 1,700 happy clients who serve as references, and its services have been used by public figures such as American huntress Melissa Bachman and two-time MLB MVP Robin Yount. As a private, family-owned business, Diamond Outfitters does not disclose financial details or a corporate parent. Its operations are concentrated in the American West, with a satellite presence in Mexico, and it continues to promote membership-based access to guided hunts as a way to make trophy hunting more accessible and affordable.

History

He was also recognized as Safari Club International - Arizona Chapter Hunter of the Year. The company began as a family-owned operation and quickly grew into what it describes as the largest full-time outfitter for bull elk, mountain lion, black bear, oryx, and Coues deer in North America. Over time, Diamond Outfitters expanded its services to include world-class mule deer and antelope hunts, as well as Desert and Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep and exotic species such as ibex and aoudad. The company operates across Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, and Sonora, Mexico. It has introduced innovative programs such as the Zero Outfitter Fees (ZOF) membership, which offers free guided trophy hunts during select premium draw hunts in five states, and an in-house concierge application service. Diamond Outfitters emphasizes its veteran-owned and operated status, with many guides being veterans and first responders, and maintains a strong patriotic and faith-based culture.
