Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock Seasons Start October 1

The hunting season for ruffed grouse – New Hampshire’s most sought-after upland game bird – starts October 1 and runs through December 31. Karen Bordeau, Fish and Game’s Small Game Project Leader, notes that better than 60% of small game hunting effort in New Hampshire is directed towards ruffed grouse, and that over half of that effort takes place in the North Country.  Hunting for woodcock, another popular upland game bird runs from October 1 through November 14.
