I would like to know what the hunting is like, especially up north. I love to hunt deer, turkey and grouse. I am focused on not just being able to harvest game but how often do you encounter them. I usually am able to see at least a couple every day I go out during the bow season. Is it common to get more than 1 deer a year if you take advantage of all the seasons available or is just getting 1 a good season?
My family lives in Northern NH and Hunting is their life up there. Deer, Partridge and bears i hear them mostly talk about and yes my brother has freezer full of meat all winter long. I think he would hunt more if he had more room to store the meat. He does give a lot of meat away. I don't hear much about hunting turkey and i don't even know what grouse is.
Hey Val -- I'll look you up next year after we move and my husband harvests his first in NH. If it's a good enough season and the family is more than covered, our family donates venison to food banks.
My hubby will more than likely go after those other tags also (bear and moose) which will be a first for him along with taking advantage of all the seasons with his bow, muzzleloader, and shotgun. As for me, the only way I could ever shoot anything is with my camera and then mount it in a frame to forever remember that "hunt" .
Thank you everyone! As alway, I enjoy reading all your comments.
Hunting IS the life up here. You have the chance to take 3 deer as the previous post has said. Coos county is the best hunting area in my opinion. Lots of area to hunt just about every where. For everybody, we call grouse , partridge up here.
I won't eat anything i've seen killed or heck even anything in my brothers freezer. My mind thinks the grocery store makes their meat somehow and that's all i'll eat.
I too will take a shot with my camera but that's about it. If i shot and an animal, i'd probably be taking it to the vet.
I have no problems with hunters as long as you eat what you kill or catch and not just target practice on them.

I agree with that. Maybe it is my So Cali bringing up, but I just couldnt hunt.
