New Hampshire Deer Hunting by County

New Hampshire reports its deer harvest by management unit rather than by county, so county-level harvest totals aren't available here. Public land and terrain are still broken out by county below.

See New Hampshire season dates or the New Hampshire wildlife agency for unit-level harvest data.

New Hampshire publishes deer harvest by wildlife management unit (WMU), not by county, so these are statewide totals — not a county figure. Source: NH Fish & Game.
