N.H. Special Unit M Antlerless Deer Permits Selling Fast

CONCORD, N.H. -- Hunters who still want the chance to take additional antlerless deer in Wildlife Management Unit M in southeastern New Hampshire during the fall hunting seasons should act fast, as Unit M permits are selling out quickly. Again this year, a total of up to 4,000 permits are being sold. As of July 21, approximately 600 permits were left. If you are interested in purchasing a Unit M permit, you should act fast while they are still available.

Interested hunters can purchase Unit M permits in the following ways:

  • Online at https://www.nhfishandgame.com;
  • Over the counter at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord; or
  • By mail using the printable application at http://huntnh.com/Hunting/Unit_M_permits.htm (or call 603-271-3422 to request an application by mail).


Hunters should be aware that NEW this year, all Unit M permits come with 2 deer tags at a cost of $26 plus a transaction fee. These permits are no longer sold with a 1-tag option. This change was made in an attempt to increase harvest rates in WMU M without increasing hunter density in the area.

Archery, muzzleloader and firearms hunters may use these special permits on any day during those seasons for which they are legally licensed. Youth hunters are eligible to purchase the permits. Applicants also must hold a current New Hampshire hunting or archery license.
