What’s it take to be an outfitter here in NJ

[Njhunter77]

General serious question I see some shops doing it hunting clubs and solo guys. I’d like to take people out like I already do free on my dime hunting and bow fishing. Not looking to make money but more so to cover the cost of supplies and get more people outdoors especially the youth.

I’m not sure on everything you need but insurance is a must. Once you take any sort of money you’re liable for the people in your care. I was also told a captain’s  license is needed if you use a boat at all.

also to add to jimmyscags, having an up to date CPR card. i think some states require the guide to have basic cpr and first aid. and to be renewed every 2 years.

This is not an endeavor to take lightly. Once someone who paid you gets hurt under your watch (broke an ankle tripping on the boat, got a hook in their finger, etc. etc.), you are going to need a lawyer.

I don't think that NJ requires anything to become a guide other than registering a business and whatever is required to have a business.  Workmans comp, sales tax certificate, liability insurance, ect.

You buddies with Kyle? Some pics look familiar?

 

Why not work for an outfitter first?

Have you been on a lot of paid hunts?

Sounds like a good time if she’s hanging her back side out it

I feel like paid or unpaid if any one gets hurt especially in the great state of NJ aka “the sure state” ur in for it but I refuse to give up on people and old systems like a hand shake etc over my love for the outdoors and getting new people into it, maybe make a waiver sheet ?

Safety Rules, rules and a waiver would be a good idea.
