New York State DEC Licensing

We sell New York State hunting and fishing licenses in accordance to the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Please visit the DEC's website directly (to buy your license online and print at home) or stop into the Town Clerk's Office during regular business hours to purchase hunting and/or fishing licenses (we print your license for an additional $1 charge).

Hunting season is upon us! Please know that we are only able to issue licenses for individuals that are physically present in the office. We are not able to give your friend's/spouse's/sibling's/parent's/etc. license to anyone other than them. Thank you for understanding, and best of luck out there!

Starting 8/1/24, licenses will be issued on plain paper. See the DEC website below for more details.
