Hunting Question (home, buy, legal)

[StitchBuddy]

My husband is an avid hunter, primarily deer. How is the hunting in New Hampshire??

What you hunting ? lots of rabbits not so much with the Moose.

Not so good with the deer up here in Coos county

If you're into archery, New Hampshire is great, you can buy a special archery permit for a second deer after you fill your first tag.

Most of our firearms game seasons are relatively short, we have tons of turkey and deer here in S.NH and my biggest problem is making time to take advantage of "any deer" centerfire hunting days. There are some other interesting hunting options in-state, for example, New Hampshire has an open season on coyote.

While it's always polite to ask landowner permission, most non-posted land is legal to hunt, including state-owned land (excludes preserves, DRED, and "compact areas").

Hunting here is a bit complex, since the state is divided into units and different units have different rules. Look here for more info: Hunting Dates and Seasons | New Hampshire Fish and Game Department

I'm not certain how good "deer hunting" is in New Hampshire... but I regularly see anywhere from 1 to a half dozen deer pass through my yard daily. The deer in my area appear to be healthy and have produced at least three new fawns.

Not sure where you guys are coming from but it's anemic deer hunting compared to MN and WI.

Any idea why?

Just my observation, I think there are a lot less crops in NH than there are in MN, WI, and IA. I think the land in the midwest simply supports a larger population than New England. You can still be successful here it's just not easy like it is back home (for me MN).
