It's time to buy your New Hampshire fishing and hunting licenses for 2010. Get yours and be set for a wild year of outdoor adventure, from ice fishing this winter to bagging your deer next fall. Licenses are good from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. Purchase yours online at wildnh.com, at the Fish and Game headquarters in Concord or from more than 250 license agents statewide.
Your hunting or fishing license (or your combo license) is your year-round ticket to New Hampshire's great outdoors. For state residents, an annual fishing license is $35, the basic hunting license is $24.50 and a combination (hunting and fishing) license is $48.50. For nonresidents, annual fishing licenses are $53, hunting licenses are $105.50 and the combo license is $143.50. Residents can buy a one-day fishing license for $10. Nonresidents can opt for one-, three- or seven-day fishing licenses.
There are two fee changes for 2010, affecting the pheasant license and an internet transaction fee. For 2010, pheasant hunting licenses are $26 for both residents and nonresidents (previously $16). This fee increase was recommended with the input of hunters and was necessary to ensure that the same number of pheasants can be stocked.
Those buying 2010 licenses online will be charged a $3 transaction fee.
