It’s that time again when moose hunters need to be thinking about getting that application in for the 2007 New Hampshire moose hunt. Lottery applications are now available for the adventure of a lifetime – hunting moose in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s moose hunt lottery is open and costs just $10 to enter (the fee is nonrefundable). New Hampshire’s moose hunt is nine days long, starting the third Saturday in October. This year, it runs from October 20-28, 2007. The odds of being selected in the lottery are about 1 in 20 for New Hampshire residents and 1 in 55 for nonresidents, some of the best odds in the nation for moose hunting.
Visit the Fish and Game website to enter the moose hunt lottery online or print out an application to mail in. Applications can also be picked up from Fish and Game license agents statewide. Moose hunt lottery applications for 2007 must be postmarked or submitted online by midnight Eastern Time, May 25, 2007, or they may be delivered to N.H. Fish and Game headquarters in Concord prior to 4:00 p.m. that day. Winners will be selected through a computerized random drawing on June 22.
