What's happening

This bill creates a $40 two-day non-resident hunting license allowing out-of-state hunters to hunt various game in New York.

Why it matters

  1. Expands access for out-of-state hunters. By creating a short-term, more affordable license option, the bill makes it easier for non-residents—such as former New Yorkers and visiting friends or family—to participate in hunting without committing to a full annual license.

  2. Potential tourism and economic impact. The two-day license could attract more visitors to New York, benefiting local economies through spending on lodging, food, and other travel-related expenses during hunting trips.

  3. Limited scope and timeframe. The license specifically allows hunting of domestic game birds, migratory game birds, big game, and small game, but only for two consecutive days, making it ideal for brief visits or special hunting events rather than longer hunting seasons.

  4. Simplifies compliance for occasional hunters. Rather than navigating the process and cost of a full non-resident license, occasional or first-time hunters from out of state have a streamlined, lower-barrier entry point, which could encourage broader participation and foster interest in hunting traditions.
