FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Let Us Zero In On Your Questions
What are the success rates for ZOF hunts?
What's this "really" gonna cost me?
Each state requires the non-refundable purchase of an annual hunting license. See the state license graphic below that itemizes the cost. Your ZOF concierge will buy your licenses for you in each state you have selected and charge it to your credit card on file. Second, big game tag fees are charged to your credit card only upon a successful draw in Arizona, Utah and Nevada. Big game tags fees are fully charged to your credit card at the time of application, upfront, in New Mexico and Wyoming.(These are refunded after the draw, if you are not drawn.) See the attached graphic for the big game tag fees and understand how and when the fees are charged. Additionally, there is an application fee of $45 per species, per person, per application. This $45 fee is a combined fee between the state agencies and ZOF. The state agencies fees include the application fee, bonus point fee, loyalty point fee and point guard fee. The ZOF fee includes an admin fee, scouting fee and consulting fee. It’s important to understand, these fees total $45 per person/per species/per app. For example, if you are applying for 4 hunts in Utah, you know your application fee will total $180 ($45×4).
Finally, guide and cook gratuities are not included in your free hunt with ZOF. Guide gratuities are typically 15%-20% of the actual retail price of the hunt. Please call us with any questions.

Who are the Outfitters/Guides?
ZOF is owned by the same family that owns Diamond Outfitters. Arizona hunts are outfitted by Diamond Outfitters (Dan Adler–SP748745). New Mexico hunts are outfitted by Borderland Adventures LLC (Matt Woodward–Outfitter 4576). Wyoming hunts are outfitted by Morning Creek Outfitters (John Porter–Outfitter BG254), or Shoshone Lodge Outfitters (Josh Martoglio–Outfitter BG019). Nevada hunts are outfitted by Borrego Outfitters (Victor Trujillo–Master Guide 1511509). Utah hunts are outfitted by Apex Outfitters (Brett Guymon–Outfitter 10753984-7500). These outfitters are highly respected in their respective states and are personal friends of ours. We hunt with them and they hunt with us. All of them have superior reputations. ZOF is neither a guide or outfitter. Instead ZOF is the application service and booking agent that PAYS for your hunts when you are drawn. Please call the office with additional questions.
Are you licensed, permitted and insured?
Can a non-hunter be in camp with us?
Do you have discounts for junior hunters?
What are my draw odds for these hunts?
It depends. If we put you in for 37 hunts, your draw odds are dramatically higher than someone that has asked us to only apply for one or two hunts. Bonus points, which accrue in years you do not draw, increase your draw odds dramatically over time. Individual draw odds for each hunt are typically low. These are the best hunts, in the most premier units in the West–typically during the rut. You should not expect to draw every year. Think about it this way: If you only drew one tag with your membership over 10-years, receiving only one guided hunt, you still save thousands of dollars over the retail price of that hunt. If you draw two or more tags, your savings are in the tens of thousands. Your $799 annual membership breaks down to $2.18 per day! If this small investment sounds worthwhile, then a membership is a good fit for you! Every single year ZOF members are successful in the draws and harvest some of the best trophies on the planet! Again, with the bonus point system available in all ZOF states (except New Mexico) your draw odds go up exponentially over time. There is no limit to the amount of free hunts you can go on with us!
How physical are the hunts?
Where can I meet someone and talk to someone from ZOF?
Our owner Dan Adler is a keynote speaker and seminar host at many of the National hunting conventions each year. You can meet Dan, Matt and the team at our Diamond Outfitters/ZOF booths at The Dallas Safari Club, Wild Sheep Foundation, Safari Club International, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the Grand-Slam Convention (GSCO), and the Arizona Elk Society Banquets. Contact us to determine if we are coming to your local area anytime soon or to have our outfitter speak at your event. Or, contact us right now!
