Licensed Hunting Guides in New York (830 Active Licenses)

License data verified Oct 26, 2026. How we verify

New York guides are licensed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Our directory lists 830 guides whose active DEC license covers hunting, each with the badge number from the state's Licensed Guides list so you can check it yourself before booking.

How to verify a license

New York has no per-guide record pages. Search the guide's name or badge number in the NY DEC Licensed Guides list on data.ny.gov (opens state site). Step by step: How to check if an outfitter is licensed.

The New York record lists a county for each guide. It may not be where they guide, so there are no county pages for New York.

FAQ

How do I check a New York guide license?

Search the guide's last name or badge number in the DEC Licensed Guides list on data.ny.gov, and check that the activity shows Hunting and the expiration date hasn't passed. Each New York profile here gives the badge number and links to that list. Source: NY DEC Licensed Guides list.

Which species do these guides hunt?

The New York record lists hunting as an activity but doesn't name species. Ask the guide which hunts they offer.

Does a license mean the guide is recommended?

No. A listing here only shows the guide appears in the state licensing records. We don't review, rank or endorse guides.
