New York lead-free ammunition rebate program

Overview

New York has introduced a rebate program for the 2026-27 hunting season to encourage the use of certified lead-free ammunition. Supported by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the initiative provides up to $60 for hunters who switch to non-lead bullets and slugs in an effort to reduce lead ingestion by scavengers like eagles.

The program offers 10,000 rebates statewide. To qualify, participants must submit their receipts along with a hunting license. The state also maintains specific requirements for deer hunting, including mandatory hunter education courses and various licensing fees based on residency and age.
