Vehicle hunting permits for hunters with disabilities
New Hampshire allows certain licensed hunters with disabilities to hunt from a motor vehicle with a special permit. Eligible hunters have paraplegia, loss of both legs or their use, or another physical disability the Fish and Game executive director approves. Hunters must hold a current hunting license. The director may issue permits after an in-person application or documentary proof of disability. Applicants pay a one-time $10 fee. Covered vehicles include off-highway recreational vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, and snowmobiles, but not boats with motors or aircraft. While the vehicle moves, firearms must have no cartridges in the chamber or in any attached magazine or clip. Hunters must carry their permit and show it when a law enforcement officer asks. The law took effect 60 days after passage.
