Early midseason deer harvest in New Hampshire
The preliminary numbers on the deer kill in New Hampshire as of mid-October are listed below, along with a comparison of recent years harvest at this same point in the season. The archery deer season began September 15 and was limited to antlered deer in September. Archers had taken a preliminary total of 1,025 deer as of October 16, 2011; that number is up somewhat from the total for 2010 at this point in the season, but continues to reflect the desired reduction in antlerless archery kill during September. Since October 1, the archery season has once again been either sex. New Hampshire's archery deer season extends through December 15, except in WMU-A, where it closes on December 8. Figures are preliminary, from registration reports. Final figures are published in the N.H. Wildlife Harvest Summary, which is published on this website in March of each year.
