American Woodcock
New Hampshire offers excellent opportunity for grouse and woodcock hunters, especially in the North Country. The NH Small Game Summary Report showed that 62% of the hunting hours dedicated to small game went to hunting ruffed grouse, while 28% resulted from woodcock hunting.
New Hampshire's grouse and woodcock populations are abundant and healthy.
