N.H. Deer Season Harvest: Comparison by County

New Hampshire hunters harvested an estimated 10,390 deer during the 2009 season. Various parts of the state experienced mixed results, according to Kent Gustafson, NH Deer Project Leader. However, the state's deer harvest again exceeded 10,000, something which has happened just 15 times in the past half century.
