(Did this with a Rocky Mountain Elk Diamond, he was beautiful. Diamonds spook easy, and on the rare event you do stalk up on one, you are likely to spook it and get a funky shot, possibly ruining it. Hunting from stands is one of the best ways to get diamonds. You can improve your odds, and learn when patience will make the difference. As said, no way to find them really, It's like shiny hunting in pokemon. Luckily, I did manage to get a diamond before this, but it was black tail that wasn't otherwise special.Īnyways, there's a few simple tricks to up your chances. Set my mother down to hunt the stand for a few hours and she gets it! Amazing shot though. I had this same thing happen to me! Only my second diamond, and it was a rare color.
