Our deer permit application for the 2022 hunting season at Balch Hill is now open! Please follow the link below to our deer permit application, thank you!
Deer season begins in NH Sept. 15
Although hunting for various species occurs throughout the year, deer season is by far the most popular. In New Hampshire, the full season runs from September 15 – December 15 each year.
Remember to wear your blaze orange or hi-vis yellow and take precautions with dogs and kids: bells and bright colors are always a good choice!
Loaner safety vests and bandanasĀ are available at many of our trailheads. Please return them after your hike!
