Walk into a sports store and buy it. There is no problem that I ever had on getting any licence in the USA But your gun could be a different story. You need to get a form ATF F 6NIA sent to the ATF for a permit to take Firearms into the USA..

Mic, Ya may be a little late for this fall. I apply in July and have a 2 week turn around. Once I applied in September and it was a 2 month turn around and ended up traveling to PA. Fall Turkey hunting without my gun. I had to borrow one there.
Here is the forms you need to send.

I am planning to bring a 15inch barrel 12ga pump, what do i need to do to be able to take it down? link to a form?
Thanks a lot Adrian
Your are going to have a problem getting a ATF form 6 for the 15" barrelled shotgun. AFAIK it is a NFA weapon and they won't approve you for a form 6.
Simple question, I am a quebec resident and want to hunt in the Adirondacks. What do i do to get a NY hunting license? Any tests required?
Thank you

Licenses may be purchased over the counter at license issuing outlets, such as sporting goods stores, town clerk offices and some major discount stores. Hunters under 16 must apply for a license in person and be accompanied by parent or legal guardian. Licenses are no longer sold at DEC regional offices, except Region 1 on Long Island. Licenses may also be purchased by mailing: 1) a standard license application (PDF, 49 Kb), 2) a copy of your driver's license, and 3) a previous hunting license or a copy of your hunting education certificate to:

New York gun laws
Non-residents:
A non-resident citizen may possess a rifle or shotgun in New York, as long as it is unloaded while being transported. No person may carry, possess or transport a handgun in or through the state unless he has a valid New York license. New York does not issue licenses to non-residents nor does it recognize licenses issued by other states. (A provision of federal law provides a defense to state or local laws which would prohibit the passage of persons with firearms in interstate travel. If a person is traveling from any place where he may lawfully possess and transport a firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearm and the firearm is unloaded and in the trunk. In vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm shall be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Necessary stops, e.g., gasoline and rest, seem permissible.) A member or coach of an accredited college or university target pistol team may transport a handgun into or through New York to participate in a collegiate, Olympic or target pistol shooting competition provided that the handgun is unloaded and carried in a locked carrying case and the ammunition is carried in a separate locked container. An alien may possess a rifle or shotgun for use while hunting provided he has a valid New York hunting license. "If such (handgun) license is issued to an alien, or to a person not a citizen of and usually a resident in the state, the licensing officer shall state in the license the particular reason for the issuance and the names of the persons certifying to the good character of the applicant." Non-resident target shooters may enter or pass through New York State with handguns for the purposes of any NRA approved competition if the competitor has in his possession a copy of the match program, proof of entry and a pistol license from his state of residence. The handgun must be unloaded and transported in a locked opaque container.

Unless you are an American citizen, you'll also require - at a minimum - a valid BATFE-issued (aka ATF) Form 6NIA.As has already been noted, you won't be able to get a Form 6NIA for some particular firearms (including short-barrelled shotguns).
