New Hampshire’s deer population is healthy and will provide excellent opportunities,” said Bergeron. “Last year’s total harvest was the seventh largest on record and deer numbers should remain strong throughout the state.” In 2019, young hunters took 286 deer during the special youth weekend.
New Hampshire has offered a special youth deer hunt since 1999. Nonresident youth may participate in New Hampshire’s youth deer weekend only if their state of residence allows New Hampshire youth to participate in its youth deer hunt.

New Hampshire’s youth deer weekend, Saturday and Sunday, October 24-25, 2020, is the perfect time to take a young person hunting. This special weekend gives young people age 15 and younger the opportunity to go deer hunting with an adult mentor, without the pressure of competing with thousands of adult hunters.
Accompanying adults must be licensed hunters and are not allowed to carry a firearm, the idea being to concentrate your time and attention on coaching your young companion.
Prospects for this year’s youth season are excellent, according to Dan Bergeron, Deer Project Leader and Game Program Supervisor for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
