Hunts in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, and Sonora, MX
Guided Elk Hunts
- Five states of prime elk country
- Two bulls in the all-time Top Ten
- Targeting 330"+ bulls, with monsters up to 458" on the books
When it comes to guided elk hunts, Diamond Outfitters is in a league of their own. They're running trips in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and Wyoming. That's a whole lot of elk country to play in. And play they do - these folks have put two bulls in the all-time Top Ten. That's no small feat.
I’ve been on many elk hunts over the years, but the way Diamond Outfitters is a leading elk hunting outfitter for a reason. They're not just looking for any old bull - they're targeting real giants, 330 inches and up. In the right conditions, they're putting clients on bulls pushing 380 inches or better. That's the kind of elk hunting that gets your blood pumping.
Coues Deer Hunting Outfitter
- World's largest Coues deer outfitter
- Hunts in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico
- Optics-intensive spot-and-stalk hunts
Now, if you want to talk about a specialized hunt, let's chat about Coues deer. Diamond Outfitters is the largest Coues deer outfitter in the world. They're running hunts in Arizona and down in Sonora, Mexico. Coues deer hunting in Arizona is some of the most challenging and rewarding hunting you can do.
These gray ghosts are masters of disappearing in plain sight. It's all about glassing - hours of it. But when you spot that buck, and make a stalk across that rocky, steep country... there's nothing quite like it.
Diamond Outfitters has a whole crew of guides who live and breathe Coues deer hunting. They know where to glass, when to move, and how to get you on a buck.
Arizona Bear Hunting
- Color phase bears galore
- Spot-and-stalk or hound hunts available
- Long seasons, over-the-counter tags
Arizona bear hunting might be one of the best-kept secrets in the West. Diamond Outfitters is tapped into this resource in a big way. They're offering both spot-and-stalk hunts and traditional hound hunts. What's really special about Arizona is the color phase bears - you've got a better shot at a blonde or cinnamon bear here than just about anywhere else.
I've done my share of Arizona bear hunting, and it's no cakewalk. These bears are tucked away in some of the roughest country you can imagine.
But Diamond Outfitter’s has it dialed. Their spot-and-stalk success is impressive, and if you go the hound route, you're in for a real adventure. There's nothing quite like listening to those dogs working a hot trail up a canyon.
Mountain Lion Hunting in Arizona
- World-renowned success rates
- Horseback access to remote areas
- Helping ranchers and deer populations
When it comes to mountain lion hunting in Arizona, Diamond Outfitters is hard to beat. They've got access to millions of acres, both public and private. What really sets them apart is their network - ranchers, game wardens, you name it. When a big tom shows up, they know about it.
These hunts are fast-paced and intense. You might be helping out a rancher with a problem cat, or you could be on the trail of a tom that's been feasting on mule deer. Either way, you're in for a ride. Diamond's using mules and horses to get into the backcountry where the big cats live. It's not just a hunt - it's an adventure.
Mule Deer Hunts
- Six different locations to choose from
- Glassing-intensive tactics
- Options from Wyoming to Mexico
Mule deer hunting with Diamond Outfitters gives you a lot of options. They're running hunts in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and even down in Sonora, Mexico. That's a whole lot of mule deer country to choose from. Their Mexico mule deer hunts are something special - big bucks in a unique setting.
These hunts are all about glassing. You'll spend hours behind good glass, picking apart hillsides and canyons. When you spot that buck, that's when the real work begins. The stalk across mule deer country is always a chess match, but Diamond's guides know how to play the game.
Exotic Hunting Outfitter
- Free-range exotics in New Mexico
- Opportunities for ibex, oryx, and aoudad
- Public and private land options
Now here's something you don't see every day - free-range exotic hunts in the States. Diamond Outfitters, through their partnership with Borderland Adventures, is offering some unique opportunities in New Mexico. We're talking Persian ibex, oryx, and aoudad (Barbary sheep).
These aren't high-fence operations - this is real, free-range hunting for species you'd normally have to go overseas for.
I've hunted all three of these species, and let me tell you, they're each a challenge in their own right. Ibex will have you climbing mountains, oryx will test your long-range skills, and aoudad... well, they don't call them the poor man's sheep for nothing. It's serious hunting for serious hunters.
