Deer Season Update

The unofficial deer kill for New Hampshire’s 2024 season is listed below with comparisons to final kill totals for the previous 9 years. Since registration forms from physical registration stations are still being entered, deer registered at physical registration stations are listed in the county total estimates where they were registered (not necessarily killed). Online deer registration details are available immediately, so deer registered online are included in the county total where they were killed. The 2024 numbers are estimates and do not represent complete data from all stations. Data for the previous years are final kill figures for each county and hence the estimated registration distribution for 2024 is not directly comparable to the previous years’ final kill totals.  

The estimated 2024 statewide harvest of 12,232 is a decrease of 7% from the 2023 final kill of 13,136 and is slightly below the 10-year average. All registration forms should be received within the next week and verified against forms issued and returned. Data entry, verification, and analysis should be complete by early spring when the Wildlife Harvest Summary will be available. Thanks to all who helped make these deer season updates possible and Happy Holidays.
