Bear Season Opens September 1st in New Hampshire

Posted on by

September 1 is the general season opening day. New Hampshire’s Population of black bears is growing despite record harvests. The population is estimated at 6000 bears. Wow! That is a lot of Bruin! Note that baiting permits for bear needed to be turned in by the first week of August for this year.

See this site for bear season details by WMU. . http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/hunting/bear-season.html

The best resource for hunters locating bears is the 2015 New Hampshire Wildlife Harvest Summary.

In it you will learn where the deer moose and bears are, how big, male to female ratio and harvest by town even. So if you are thinking about hunting bear then read this great report like I do each year.

 

Good Hunting! Be Safe!
