Bird Hunting
BIRD HUNTING-
New Hampshire has a good population of ruffed grouse that are found in some truly beautiful areas. We also have a put and take pheasant stocking program with several stocking sites located close to our hunting grounds. One of my favorites to hunt are the woodcock. Woodcock come in throughout the upland season in “flights” from further north. They hold in similar cover to that of the grouse but prefer a little softer bottom location such as swamp edges. Getting into a good flight of woodcock can eat up a box of shells in a hurry! All of these birds live in thick brushy areas that are wet and difficult to walk through. A good pair of boots that are waterproof AND provide good support are essential for a day of bird hunting.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED-
A valid NH resident or non resident hunting license with a pheasant stamp and a HIP stamp ( for woodcock). Ruffed grouse do not require an additional stamp.
Good walking boots that are warm and waterproof.
Bird hunting pants are ideal as we will be walking through briars and thick wooded areas. A pair of flannel lined jeans will also work well and are far less money.
A good assortment of cool to cold weather clothes that can be layered.
A shotgun of your choice with plenty of shells.
***If you plan on shooting woodcock, your gun must be plugged to hold no more than 3 shells at a time.
A hunter orange hat or vest.
A word on gun safety-
A safety meeting will be held before the hunt so that all parties are aware of their shooting lanes. A loaded gun in my vehicle will result in the end of the hunt. No exceptions!
Black Bear
BEAR HUNTING-
New Hampshire has a thriving bear population as well as a very generous season. Our baiting season is roughly a month long but does very slightly from year to year. Hunting over bait is a great way to be sure of an ethical shot that results in a clean kill, or a long camera roll of some really cool pictures if you so choose. New Hampshire black bears will eagerly come to bait while trying to put on extra pounds before the snow starts to fly. Do not confuse this with meaning it's an easy hunt…it's not! Bears have arguably the best noses in the woods, a great sense of hearing and can detect even the slightest movements. Make no mistake, if you kill a bear over bait, you did everything right! We have a lot of young bears that weigh from 80 to 130 pounds. For the patient hunter, 300+ pound bears are not uncommon. Bear can be taken ethically with bow, crossbow, guns of almost every caliber and pistols. The best weapon for this hunt is the one you are most comfortable shooting.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED-
A valid NH resident/non resident hunting license with a bear tag
Weapon of your choice
Raingear, waterproof boot
Thermacell
Light clothing! I’ve hunted many bears in 70+degree weather
Camera
Deer Hunting
DEER HUNTING-
New Hampshire’s deer woods are among the best in New England. The state does a fantastic job of managing the herd for good numbers as well as good size. We have a very long archery season that runs from September 15th through December 15th and most years, either sex can be taken with your archery tag for the length of the season. Muzzleloader and rifle seasons are held during the pre-rut, (muzzleloader) and rut, peak rut, and post rut are for rifle hunters. We also have a baiting season thrown in to keep things interesting. We cannot compete with the mid-west and other areas as far as antler size goes, but if deer hunting is in your blood like it is mine, Its hard to beat a crisp NH morning in a treestand!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED-
A valid NH resident, or non resident hunting license. A deer tag comes with the license if you are rifle or pistol hunting. A muzzleloader license is required for use of a muzzleloader BUT you only have one tag, (the tag that comes with the license is good for rifle or muzzleloader). A hunting license with an archery tag is required to bow hunt. You can also purchase a special archery tag which is good for an additional deer, (buck only).
Weapon of your choice
Raingear, waterproof boots
Thermacell (early season only)
Clothing needs will change with each month during our deer season. September can be miserably hot and early October can be brutally cold. If you have it, bring it!
Camera
***Hunter orange is not required by the state of NH. North Nine Guide Service or its guests will not enter the woods without hunter orange from the beginning of Muzzleloader season until the end of rifle season.
