NH Hunting and Fishing Licenses
Anglers and hunters aged 16 and older need to be licensed to fish or hunt in New Hampshire.
There are three
ways to purchase a NH fishing or hunting license: online, by mail or
in person at one of Fish and Game's license agents.
- BUY ONLINE with our online license sales site*
- Download a print-and-mail license application
- Visit a local license agent
*PLEASE NOTE: If you have not purchased a hunting license or bowhunting license since 2000 – even if you are a licensed bowhunter buying your regular hunting license or vice versa – you are not in the licensing database and must go to a regular license agent to get your license; you will not be able to buy online or at Wal-mart. Sorry for the inconvenience.
