Learn to Hunt NYC — Attraction in Jersey City

You HAVE to book a hunt or lesson (no hunt) with Learn to Hunt NYC!!!!

Fisher has been a true outdoorsman his ENTIRE life since childhood back in Tennessee, where the outdoors is part the culture and a way of life.

Fisher will impart as much of his lifetime of experience and knowledge as he can in the time you have with him, not a single moment is wasted. Even when we went to grab lunch in between my morning lesson and my afternoon hunt the learning never stopped. During lunch Fisher was constantly monitoring the weather, specifically wind conditions for the multiple potential hunting sites that he could take me and checking the cameras he had set up in the field searching for latest game activity, all the while explaining what conditions he was searching for and why.

The service that you receive on the day(s) of your hunt or lesson, is only the tip of the iceberg of how much time, effort, care, excessive amounts of planning and backup planning that is put into your experience, leading up to the day of your hunt or lesson.

This level of care, attention, planning and preparations in the field is what made the first hunt of my life, a successful one! I harvested a doe and this morning I picked up my venison from the wild game butcher that Fisher recommended.

I knew that I would learn how to hunt during my Apprentice Hunt, what I didn’t expect was to learn so much more about nature in general : trees, plants, bugs, topography, and ecosystems AND mushrooms! during my morning lesson, we happened upon a batch of puffball mushrooms that we harvested - it has a natural earthy and nutty flavor, you cook it up just like tofu, it takes on whatever flavor you add to the pan.

Safety is the first and foremost concern of Learn to Hunt NYC. Absolutely no chances are taken with your safety. This in and of itself is invaluable.

I highly recommend that you book yourself an Apprentice Hunt.

For my birthday my wife booked a half-day foraging hike with Fisher and I could not have been happier with the experience.

I've long had an interest in mycology, and mushrooms are a favorite food by far. I've never had the time to dig into the books and was always apprehensive to go at it alone (as you should be because identifying fungus and wild edible plants takes a keen eye, good committed knowledge, and old fashioned experience).

Fisher had all of the required qualities and then some. He was a great guide and highly knowledgable and was incredibly patient and kind in explaining things.

Our hike resulted in finding 7 or so species of wild edible mushrooms which by Fisher's account was definitely a bit of luck and not a common experience. Altogether we probably came across over 25 species in total and learned a lot! It was amazing to walk away with so many wild mushrooms to try at home safely thanks to his expertise.

As I said, you may not want to expect this much because mushroom foraging is also dependent on location, timing, rain, and a variety of other variables and we definitely lucked out a little. Fisher has his own well scouted spots and he went through a lot of effort to select one that would be prime for hunting and he chose wisely. He definitely wants you to walk away happy and does the legwork to do his best to insure it.

I'd highly recommend booking with Fisher for anyone who wants a great starting point for mushroom foraging/hunting. It was a memorable experience and Fisher is a class act. You...

Learn to Hunt NYC is a really amazing guide service, especially if you live in NYC or elsewhere in the area. I'm a complete beginner at hunting and Fisher took me out for an apprentice deer hunting trip. Having used guides for fly fishing around the country, I have to say spending the day with Fisher was the best guide experience I've had by a huge margin. It's almost ridiculous. You really can't understand how much you learn from Fisher until you spend the day with him. I learned everything from the proper use of firearms, to how to recognize deer sign and find hunting opportunities, as well as how to hunt from a tree stand--all in one day. Afterwards, I felt like I had enough knowledge to go out on a hunt by myself and have a very real chance of success. And it was obvious that there was a lot more Fisher had left to teach. With Learn to Hunt NYC, a New Yorker can literally throw on some (not ideal) outdoor clothes, take a 30 minute train to New Jersey, and in a few hours (1) learn to use a shotgun properly, (2) learn to identify deer sign, trails, and feeding areas, and (3) be in a treestand on a legitimate hunt and then just take the train home at night. Unreal. There is nothing like this in the area and believe me, I've looked. And, if it's any testament to my appreciation for the experience, this is the first business I've ever reviewed online. If you want to learn to hunt and learn it the right way, you owe it to yourself to check out Learn to Hunt NYC. I'm already preparing for a turkey hunt...
