Back40 PassNew Hampshire · Official sources · Reviewed August 14, 2026
New Hampshire written permission is verified for baiting on another's property and for specified tree stands, blinds, and related cutting. The stand document has prescribed party fields and a carry-and-inspection rule. A complete general hunting baseline across unposted and posted private land was not verified in the reviewed sources.
This is a qualified summary, not legal advice or permission. Reopen the cited official sources, confirm their effective dates and current versions, and check the exact property, activity, species, method, date, and local rule before relying on any form.
Direct, qualified answer
An official form can be mandatory, optional, embedded in a guide, or limited to one access program. Its existence alone does not establish a statewide written rule.
New Hampshire written permission is verified for baiting on another's property and for specified tree stands, blinds, and related cutting. The stand document has prescribed party fields and a carry-and-inspection rule. A complete general hunting baseline across unposted and posted private land was not verified in the reviewed sources.
Posted-property and criminal-trespass rules, municipal provisions, landowner conditions, and activity-specific statutes may add restrictions. The complete general open-land baseline remains outside this partial profile.

Choose primary game and timingSubject: Hunting permission request — [choose primary game], New Hampshire Hello, My name is [your name]. I am writing to ask whether you would consider discussing permission for 1 hunter to hunt [choose primary game] with archery in New Hampshire during [your requested dates]. I will not enter, scout, or hunt without your approval. If you are open to a conversation, I would like to confirm: - who controls access: Do you control access for this property, or is there an authorized manager I should contact? - every approved person and the exact dates - the property boundary, entry, parking, and no-go areas - permitted species, methods, and any property-specific limits - check-in, gates, livestock, crops, guests, and equipment rules - whether written permission or another state or local record is required - the game-retrieval plan, including neighboring property I understand the answer may be no, and I will respect it. Permission for one person, activity, or date would not be treated as permission for anyone else or another time. You can reach me at [add your preferred contact before sending]. Thank you for considering the request, [your name]
This is a request, not permission, a lease, or legal advice. Only an authorized person can approve access. Verify current state and local requirements before relying on any written record.
Applicability by rule
“General” below identifies the broadest modeled rule in this review. A rule is described as verified current only when the profile passes the evidence gate; pending rules are labeled with their future effective status.
Conditional or related rule
Fis 307.01 requires two completed signed copies and a bait-site map to be submitted, a copy retained by the permittee, and a copy left with the landowner. No bait may be placed before filing (or until three days after a mailed postmark), and each permit is limited to one bait site and one permittee.
Conditional or related rule
RSA 207:36-a distinguishes these activities from certain temporary stands; Fis 1102.10 supplies the minimum party fields and electronic-carry option.
Official forms
The Department publishes the bait permit required by the reviewed statute and rule. The form proves that the prescribed form exists; the statute and rule control when it is required.
The form confirms that an agency template exists; it does not itself establish the legal scope of permission or replace the cited law, regulation, or current agency guidance.
