248.0. "NH pheasant?" by ROSBUD::LEVESQUE (I fish, therefore I am) Thu Oct 13 1988 15:35

     I am interested in getting back into hunting. I haven't hunted
    in about 8 years. I used to hunt pheasant in NH, but they weren't
    always easy to find as I have no dog.
    
     What is the fee for a hunting license in NH? Pheasant stamp?
    What is the open season for pheasant? 
    
    Most important question: Where is agood place to hunt pheasant in
    southern NH?

    		You didn't say as to whether you were from out of state
    or not, but for a non-resident license (small game) $36.50 + $10.50
    for the pheasant "stamp".
    
    	The season has already started (OCT 1) and goes til .. I think
    Dec 31, but I'd have to consult my rules as they aren't here at
    work..
    
    	Places to hunt?? Good question...

248.2Inquiering Mind's want To knowPCCAD1::RICHARDJBluegrass,Music Aged to PerfectionThu Oct 13 1988 19:337
    Yeah,
    	I'd like to know where to hunt pheasant in N.H. I understand
    they imported 11,000 pheasants this year. They probably bought them
    from the Mass game farms because Mass doesn't have the money to
    stock.

    Actually, N.H. imports it's pheasants from New York. 
    
    N.H. doesn't stock nearly as many pheasants as Mass and only stocks
    three times a year.  I believe they have completed their stockings
    for the year.  The season does stay open until the end of the year
    and there will still be a few birds around, but it will take a lot
    of hunting to find them.
    
    You should contact the fish and game for a list of stocking sites.
    I think they put most of the birds in state owned places, like Surry
    Mountain around Peterborough, and the flood control area around
    Concord.  There is also a place along the Souhegan River in Milford
    where they stock.
    
    Good luck,
    Mark

    	N.H. Pheasant season Oct. 1-Dec. 31, Daily bag limit = 2 (1
    of which may be female)  Season limit = 10.  Pheasant stamp $10.50,
    not required under 16 yrs of age.  Must have previous hunting license
    or proof of completion of Hunter Safety course to purchase N.H.
    hunting license.  Resident hunting = 15.00, non-resident = 36.00
    (small game only).  Hope this helps out.   Source: N.H. Fish Game

248.5SOUTHERN N.H. YOUR BEST SHOT!NEBVAX::PAPPALARDOCLEVER PHARSE.Tue Oct 18 1988 14:3712
    
    Pheasant hunting in N.H is never Good you would be better off saying
    Fair. If your from Mass and want to chase these Great birds you
    would be better off to hunt them there. If you must hunt N.H. and
    want to spend the money for a non-resident lic. then stick to the
    extreme southern part of the state or coastal area, there you would
    probably have greater success. As far as hunting pheasant without
    a dog, its going to be real tough.
    
    Good Luck and Welcome back to the hunting scene.
