Magic Hour Guide Service

Magic Hour Guide Service operates guided hunting expeditions throughout New York's Capital Region and Southern Zone. Owner and operator Thomas Sanford holds a New York State hunting guide license and leads custom trips across diverse terrain—the Catskills, Adirondacks, Berkshires, and private lands.

Large Game Hunts - White-tailed deer - Black bear - Coyote and bobcat - Woodchuck

Specialized Hunts - Focused wild turkey expeditions - Small game hunts - Both one-on-one and small group options

Hunts typically run 3-5 days but are customized to your schedule and skill level. Sanford guides you through obtaining required hunting licenses and permits before you go. During the hunt, he provides safety briefings, local terrain knowledge, and hands-on instruction. After the kill, he assists with field dressing and can arrange meat processing and packaging for an additional cost.
