More about us

Our company was established in 2013 and operates in 1 territory.
  • Fisher is an outfitter and hunting guide based just outside Manhattan in West Orange, NJ. Learn to Hunt NYC was established in 2013 in response seeing the challenges to starting out as a hunter faced by adult hunters living in urban places. Our focus is to give beginners and novices the opportunity to learn all the essential skills they need to be able to go off and have success on their own.
  • No experience is necessary, hunter education is not required, and many hunters are able to harvest a deer, turkey, or squirrel on the very first hunt of their lives with us.

About this hunt

Go from knowing nothing to having your first hunt in a single day. You'll start the day with a shooting lesson on either crossbow or shotgun, depending on the season and your preference. After that you will go on a scouting lesson where you will learn all about deer, deer sign, plant and tree identification, and how to turn all of that knowledge into a successful hunt. Finally, you'll have the opportunity to experience your first hunt and potentially to take your first deer at the same time. If you like, you can book a second day and triple your odds of success. Does not include the cost of weapon rental or your hunting license. Gun or Crossbow Rental is $50/day. Please contact us to confirm dates before booking.
