NH Hunting License Classes New Hamsphire Hunting License Classes for Gun and Bow Hunters

New Hampshire Hunting

Don’t miss opening day of your favorite hunting season because you didn’t get the Hunter Education certification class you need to be licensed in the State of New Hampshire. Now is the time to register online for Hunter and Bowhunter Education classes so you can get your license and head for the woods!

New hunters must take a hunter education course before they can purchase their first hunting license in N.H. (those age 16 and older need a license to hunt). To meet this requirement, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department offers Hunter and Bowhunter Education classes around the state, as well as Trapper Education. Below is a list of classes to qualify hunters to become licensed.

To register, or search for future classes, go to http://www.huntnh.com/Hunting/hunter_ed.htm.

Hunter education instruction and course materials are provided free of charge; instructors may charge up to $5 per student to cover the use of facilities. To receive a certificate of completion in basic Hunter Education or Bowhunter Education, participants must be at least 12 years.

For more information on Hunter Education in New Hampshire, or to find a class if you do not have computer access, call the Hunter Education Program at 603-271-3214.

Hunter Education in New Hampshire is funded by federal Wildlife Restoration Funds, a user-pay, user-benefit program.


Hunter Education Class

The Hunter Education Course is more than a "gun safety" class. The mandatory course consists of classroom instruction, field experiences and firing on a shooting range. Each course is taught by trained, certified volunteer instructors and the local conservation officer. The course covers the following topics: Firearms identification, safety and handling; Hunter ethics and responsibility; Outdoor safety and survival skills; Introduction to specialty hunting (archery, crossbow and muzzleloader); Wildlife identification and management; Game recovery and care; NH hunting laws. Students are provided with a course manual, wildlife ID guide, outdoor survival information and additional handouts. Courses involve lecture, demonstrations, small group activities, a live fire experience, written exam and practical field test. The average course length is 16 hours. Provisions will be made for people with reading difficulties or special needs, but each student must demonstrate they have acquired the fundamental knowledge and skills before they will be certified.

Registration for any class must be completed at least three (3) days prior to the class start date. No registrations will be taken after the three (3) day cut-off or if the class becomes full.
