Newbie from Staten Island

Been wanting to get into hunting since high school and at the ripe old age of 30 iam finally making some moves. Applied for my NYC long gun permit last Wednesday and i am also taking the NYS Hunter Safety class this coming weekend in hopes to be ready for the coming turkey and deer seasons. Hope my application gets processed in a reasonable amount of time, anyone know what the average wait time is in the city? Thanks in advance

Check in the region specific sections of the forum. I think there were some posts about NYC permit experiences there. Welcome to the sport and welcome to the forum.

Welcome. Plenty of deer where you are, and lots of turkey too.

NYC long arms permit.... Maybe next season. Good luck!

Welcome to hunting and welcome to the forum. Good luck and feel free to ask away with any question you may have.<br /><br />Took almost 4 months for me to get my NYC long gun permit.
