CONCORD — New Hampshire’s hunting season for pheasant gets underway on Oct. 1 and continues through Dec. 31. This fall, 11,495 adult ring-necked pheasants will be stocked in all 10 counties with an average of 140 pheasants per site.

Due to safety concerns for state Fish and Game staff, hunters and the integrity of the pheasant program, the pheasant season will be closed statewide until noon on in-season stocking days. In-season stocking will be done on the first three Thursdays and Fridays in October: Oct. 8-9, 15-16 and 22-23. All stocking will be completed by Oct. 23.
