New York State Hunting & Fishing

Plan your trip now!

Unforgettable hunting and fishing adventures in the heart of New York.

Welcome to D.C. Outdoor Adventures

My name is Dennis Caracciolo. I am a member of the New York State Outdoor Guides Association, #2104, and the owner of D.C. Outdoor Adventures. I run a full-service guiding outfit, and we hunt and fish for all species in season. My rates are currently the lowest in the state.

My area of coverage is the entire eastern half of New York State, from the Adirondacks to the Catskills, the Hudson Valley and Long Island. We scout the land and the water ahead of time, then show you how to track and catch the game of your choice. Beginner or experienced, you'll walk away with a great experience and, hopefully, a great catch.
