New Hampshire has seen an increase in deer harvests during the past 20 years. According to the New Hampshire Department of Natural Resources report, the antlerless deer accounted for 41 percent of the total harvest in 2014. The overall increase in harvest is significant, even though the numbers are slightly lower than previous years. The state's deer population is higher, which means that hunters are less likely in the state to take advantage of this opportunity.
