New Hampshire deer seasons, 2026-27

New Hampshire’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 15, 2026 to December 15, 2026, and what is open on a given day depends on the wildlife management unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the wildlife management unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
