Turkey Registration May Be Completed Online or in Person This Fall
The Granite State’s fall turkey hunting season opened on Sep- tember 15 for archers, while the fall shotgun season runs October 11–17. The fall shotgun season is restricted to WMUs D2, G, H1, H2,I1,I2,J1,J2,K,L,andM. Hunters may harvest one bird during either the fall archery or the fall shotgun season, and will continue to have the option of registering harvested birds either in person or online. Regardless of registration method, hunters must register their turkey within 24 hours of harvest.
Check Station Registration: It is recommended that hunters contact their local registration stations to determine if the loca- tion is operating and to confirm that they are registering birds during the fall season. Turkeys registered at a check station will continue to receive the official leg seal. For a list of registration stations in New Hampshire visit https://wildlife.state.nh.us/hunt- ing/deer-check-stations.html.
Online Registration: If birds are not registered in person, they must be registered online within 24 hours of taking. The tag that is issued with the hunt- er’s turkey license must be affixed to the bird. To expedite online registration, hunters must have a
reliable internet connection and should have the following infor- mation readily available:
• Hunting/turkey license infor-
mation
• License plate number of the
vehicle used while hunting
• Town and Wildlife Manage- ment Unit where the turkey
was harvested • Sex of the bird • Age of the bird
(adult vs. juvenile)
• Weight of the bird (to the near-
est 1/4 pound)
• Beard length (to the nearest
1/4 inch)
• Spur lengths (to the nearest
1/16 inch)
Successful online registration
will result in a confirmation email upon completion. Hunters must retain a copy of this confirmation as proof that their turkey was le- gally registered online by saving a digital version or printing a copy of the email. Accurately entered registration data is imperative as the information is relied upon by wildlife biologists and conserva- tion officers who depend upon its accuracy.
