2023 Moose Permit Auction Package
Sealed bids are due to the Foundation by August 16, 2023 via US Mail to our address:
WHFNH, 54 Portsmouth Street, Concord, NH 03301
This year marks the 15th year of the auction. For 2023 we were granted one moose hunt permit, in line with state moose population management goals. The highest bidder will receive a free 2023 New Hampshire Moose Hunt permit, as well as a general 2023 NH hunting license, 2023 NH bear tag and 2023 NH turkey tag. Last year, the Foundation received four bids, with the winning bid coming from Massachusetts.
We will be opening the bids on August 18, 2023 and will notify the winning bidder on that day. The successful bidder will be able to harvest one moose of either sex in a wildlife management unit that has permits allocated. No moose shall be taken in wildlife management units with zero permits allocated. Individuals who receive a permit for the 2023 New Hampshire open moose hunt lottery will not be eligible to participate in the auction. Additional information about moose hunting in New Hampshire, including rules, permits, and licenses can be found on the NH Fish and Game website. Moose Hunting in NH and NH Moose Regulations
Proceeds from this year’s auction help support critical fish and wildlife conservation initiatives, in addition to education, habitat, fish hatchery, and law enforcement programs and activities.
