Hunting in New Hampshire
About Hunting in New Hampshire
New Hampshire packs a lot of hunting into a relatively small state. Its forests, mountains, wetlands, and agricultural country provide habitat for whitetail deer, black bear, moose, wild turkey, waterfowl, and small game. The northern part of the state reaches into the rugged North Woods, while southern New Hampshire offers a mix of hardwood forests, farms, and wetlands.
For hunters looking for a traditional New England experience, New Hampshire offers opportunities ranging from whitetail and turkey hunts to big-game pursuits in remote mountain and forest country. Guided hunts can be a great way to learn the terrain and make the most of your time in the field.
New Hampshire Tags & Licenses
New Hampshire hunting licenses and permits are administered by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. License requirements vary depending on residency, species, hunting method, and season.
Hunters may encounter different requirements for whitetail deer, black bear, moose, turkey, waterfowl, and other game. Some opportunities are available through standard licenses, while moose hunting is limited and requires a special permit.
