Congratulations
to the successful
moose hunters!

NEWS: New Hampshire's moose hunt is nine days, starting the third Saturday in October. By permit only. Permits are distributed by lottery.

MOOSE LOTTERY "BONUS POINT SYSTEM"

The bonus point system is designed to give unsuccessful applicants a slightly better chance of obtaining a permit in future years. Here's how it works: unsuccessful lottery applicants accrue one point for each year that they apply for the lottery. Each point is equal to one "chance" in the lottery -- so, in your first application year, you have one chance. In your second year, you have two chances, while newcomers have only one... and so on.

Moose-lottery applications should be available on paper and online sometime in January -- sign up for our 'Moose Hunting' Newsletter above and we'll keep you posted!

Want to hunt moose in New Hampshire this year?

Get your moose lottery application in soon! The deadline for print and online applications is May 30, but getting the paperwork done early allows time to correct any errors found on your application.

New Hampshire is one of the few places in the U.S. where you can hunt moose, so the lottery is popular, with an average of 15,000 people applying from around the world annually for 485 permits.

“The odds are looking good so far this year,” says Karen Cleveland, data manager for Fish and Game, “because the number of applicants is down somewhat from our average.” The odds of winning a permit are already among the best in the nation for moose hunting -- about one in 25 for state residents and one in 50 for nonresidents in an average year. Those who do participate in the hunt have had a high success rate, about 73 percent in the past two years.

To enter the lottery, apply online at Fish and Game's website, or send in a non-refundable application fee of $10, along with a completed moose hunt lottery application (available online or at license agents statewide). Application fees are used to support moose management and research, including monitoring the moose population in the state, now about 6,000 animals. “Even if you don't win a chance to hunt this year, your application fees help us keep the moose program going,” says Cleveland.

Winners will be drawn during a computer-generated lottery on or near June 20. To be eligible, applications must be postmarked no later than May 30, or received at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, May 30. Online applications must be submitted by 4 p.m. EST on May 30.
