What this is, and what it is not

huntregs is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.

It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.

What we do carry

What we do not carry

Error direction — If this record is wrong, it is most likely wrong toward saying you MAY do something you may not.

That is the direction that ends in a citation, or in a hunter on ground the state has closed. Read the signals below before you use any row on this page.

Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.

4 over-permissive · 3 undeterminable · 0 under-permissive · 6 declared gap(s), 6 of which the record says carry regulation · 62 row(s) scanned

7 signal(s), most dangerous first. The evidence lines below are the rule's own excerpts, cut at 220 characters; every gap is printed in full and verbatim under what this record does not carry.

what this rule cannot see

Across the published records the record-level answer is almost always over. That is a statement about how regulation is written — what is missing from a compilation is usually a restriction — not a ranking of states.

Record integrity

Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:

New Hampshire General Court, Office of Legislative Services, Division of Administrative Rules — adopted rule as filed, Document #14308 (NN 2025-48), "Wildlife Seasons and Rules, Licenses and Permits, and Education and Other Special Events, Fis 300, Fis 1100 and Fis 1200", adopted 07/8/2025, effective 7-10-25: Fis 301.03 Deer Season, Fis 301.031, Fis 301.034 and Fis 1204.02

sha256 3fda8e0cfba89395bec5a51b10bfa2d48436ec5e1115be4e9f675d8384502e49

The document is those bytes. A URL is a name; if the publisher replaces the file behind it, this hash stops matching and the mismatch is the finding.

We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.

The publisher is named inside that citation, in the publisher’s own words. This record carries no publisher field of its own, so nothing here names one separately.

The record states its own regulation year as 2026. That is the record’s field, not a currency claim: a record may state a year older than the day we fetched it, and where it does, it says so here.

https://gc.nh.gov/rules/adoptions/adoptions/Effective%20Adopted%20Rules%20as%20Filed%20-%20Awaiting%20Certification/14308%20(NN%202025-48)%20Wildlife%20Seasons%20and%20Rules%20Licenses%20and%20Permits%20and%20Education%20and%20Other%20Special%20Events%20Fis%20300%20%20Fis%201100%20and%20Fis%201200%20eff%207-10-25%20.pdf#page=1

15 page(s) cited

Coverage, every declared gap and every swept line are below, under what this record does not carry.

Check this page against the source

Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.

Open the source document → https://gc.nh.gov/rules/adoptions/adoptions/Effective%20Adopted%20Rules%20as%20Filed%20-%20Awaiting%20Certification/14308%20(NN%202025-48)%20Wildlife%20Seasons%20and%20Rules%20Licenses%20and%20Permits%20and%20Education%20and%20Other%20Special%20Events%20Fis%20300%20%20Fis%201100%20and%20Fis%201200%20eff%207-10-25%20.pdf#page=1

If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

What this record does not carry

derived New Hampshire declares 6 gaps, of which 6 are regulation this compilation does not carry.

6 gap(s) the record says carry regulation

These are regulation that exists and is not in here. They are printed in full, in the record's own words.

**The wildlife management units are not in this document.** Every season row above is scoped to units A through M, and Fis 301.03(a) says the state "shall be divided into wildlife management units as described in Fis 301.02". **Fis 301.02 was not amended by #14308 and so does not appear in this filing at all.** A reader cannot tell from these rows which unit they are standing in. This is also the section whose history note a previous lane attributed to Fis 301.03; it has no note here because it has no text here.

Nothing could be computed from this text for 2026.

anchored on: the opening day of another provision's regular firearms season

Check the arithmetic — this is the whole derivation:

  1. the source says, verbatim: "the 11 days immediately prior to the regular firearms season"
  2. start: INDETERMINATE — this formula is measured from another provision (the regular firearms season), which this row does not state. Supply refs={'regular firearms season': {'start': ..., 'end': ...}} to compute it, or read that row's own dates.

start: not determined — this formula is measured from another provision (the regular firearms season), which this row does not state. Supply refs={'regular firearms season': {'start': ..., 'end': ...}} to compute it, or read that row's own dates.

end: not determined — the closing day is one day before the referenced season opens, which this row does not state.

Depends on another provision: regular firearms season (open) — read that row; it is not computed here.
