New Hampshire Hunting & Fishing

New Hampshire offers compact but genuine wilderness hunting and fishing, from the White Mountains to the short but productive seacoast. Hunting guides in New Hampshire run moose hunts in the lottery-drawn northern zones, black bear hunts in the heavy forests, and whitetail deer hunts where a North Country buck is a real prize. The Great North Woods near the Canadian border holds the state's wildest hunting country.

Fishing in New Hampshire splits between cold lakes, mountain streams, and the sea. Inland, guides chase landlocked salmon and lake trout in big waters like Lake Winnipesaukee and brook trout in mountain brooks, while the short Atlantic coast supports charters for striped bass, bluefish, and groundfish. With extensive White Mountain National Forest land open to the public, New Hampshire packs a lot of opportunity into a small state.
