PARTICIPANTS SOUGHT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE HUNTING ADVENTURES
CONCORD – Hunt of a Lifetime, in conjunction with the New Hampshire Chapter of Safari Club International and the New Hampshire Guides Association, is looking for two young people to take part in the New Hampshire Hunting Adventures program.
The program, established by law in 2007, allows the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department to issue two hunting permits to New Hampshire residents 21 or under, with critical, life-threatening or terminal illnesses. The participants may hunt any game species, such as deer, bear, or moose during the regular hunting season. However, the moose permits are valid from October 1st through the end of the regular moose season. Permits are valid throughout New Hampshire for either sex.
The first participant, a 9-year-old with juvenile dermatomyositis, shot an 850-pound bull moose and donated the meat to the New Hampshire Food Bank.
The selected applicants are exempt from licensing and hunter education requirements, but must be accompanied by a properly licensed person who is 21 years of age or older. The hunts are closely monitored by New Hampshire Fish and Game officials. Hunting equipment, guide services, accommodations, transportation and taxidermy are provided by local and national sponsors.
Additional information is available at www.nhsci.org or email at Hunting@nhsci.org or by contacting state Rep. Bob L’Heureux, at bob.l'heureux@leg.state.nh.us.
