1,000 + still available

Hunters who want to make the most of their deer season can get a special permit to take one additional anterless deer in Wildlife Management Unit M.

You can get yours : online, with a print-and-mail application form or at Fish and Game headquarters on Hazen Drive in Concord.

This year, Fish and Game issued a total of 5,500 Unit M special deer permits. That's an increase from last year when 3,250 permits were issued. At last check (10/3) there were still 1,000 or so still available.

The special Unit M permits have been issued by Fish and Game since 1997 in an effort to stabilize the size of the deer herd in southeastern New Hampshire and minimize deer-human conflicts such as vehicle collisions and destructive browsing of ornamental plants. Unit M has the highest deer density in New Hampshire.
