Planning a hunt in New Hampshire

Use New Hampshire Fish and Game’s official agency site to reach current hunting and land-access information. The state’s Fis 300 rules are also linked here as an official regulations source; match the section to your intended hunt rather than relying on a summary from another season.

For a named public property, obtain its current map and confirm the manager, parking and approach. Do not assume an open-space parcel or a path across neighboring land is available for hunting. Keep the property name and the agency contact with your scouting notes so you can resolve uncertain access before entering.

Check the property and the route

Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.

Use with Free Hunting Map

Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.

View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
