That list makes my head hurt and I lived in CT
I assume bear tags are a lottery, like moose?
Everyone keeps pointing out NH's property taxes as being high.
I live in Baltimore City, where property tax is 2.5% of the home's value annually (more than anywhere in NH), on top of state and local fees and taxes for everything imaginable. We have a bag tax (tax per bag at the grocery store), bottle tax, rain tax, etc. We have fines for parking too close to the curb, parking too far from the curb, parking too close to the car in front of you (which is funny because if two cars are parked too close together, the both get tickets) not having a lid on your trashcan, not sorting your recycling, etc. One year, in a snow storm, the city canceled trash collection then proceeded to ticket everyone for having too much trash.
Needless to say, I can't wait to get to NH.
Here is the thread Mike refers to:Welcome to NH. You won't regret it one minute.
I would do some more research on towns on city-data.com. That was a good resource for me.
Also search this forum for a thread with all the town/local tax info. Each town in NH is different. Some have curbside trash pickups, others just have transfer stations and you have to bring trash to them, etc.
Nothing super weird up here. People honestly don't give a rat's rear if you have guns. If anything they'll want to see it so they can buy one. Totally different experience than Massuckchusetts so I'm sure it's similar to the Land of Marys.
A friend moved from Baltimore to Manchester and opened a successful restaurant there. One of the first things he commented on was how cheap it was to do business in NH. In Baltimore (where he was also a restauteur), his liquor license alone cost over $100,000 a year.
Daytime open season on coyotes year round, and night hunting is open Jan.1 - Mar. 31. Officially there are no wolves in NH, if you shoot something that looks like a wolf, SSS.What about wolves and coyotes? Are they ok to shoot.

Yeah, opening a restaurant in Baltimore is a tough, expensive venture. Getting a liquor license in Baltimore City is akin to doing business with the mob, except more expensive and less fair. And the "Blue Laws" are a pain.
It looks like NH doesn't sell liquor in grocery stores? I have to go to a state-run liquor store for bourbon? Can I mail order booze in NH?
Thanks for clarifying that point, for myself, I'm too cheap to spring for the $100 for an out-of-state carry permit, YMMV.
States that ban direct shipping to consumers include Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington State, West Virginia, etc.I don't think there's any laws on ordering liquor online...
There's a whole web of complex laws in all states around mail-order wine, and New Hampshire is not perfect, but is still better than many states in terms of how shipments are permitted and taxed.I know you can order wine on the web.

And the liquor is typically rather [STRIKE=undefined]cheap[/STRIKE] priceworthy. And no sales tax on it .
I also enjoy competing (especially 3 gun). Do neighboring states with Draconian gun laws have a "competition" clause is their laws? I know Connecticut does at least for handguns; what about Massachusetts? I don't see a lot of options for 3 gun matches, unless I'm missing something.
I generally shoot 12-15 three gun matches a year, along with USPSA Pistol (maybe 1/2 dozen), some long range and some tactical; most of them I travel 2-2 1/2 hours for. Are there three gun matches in the New Hampshire/Vermont/Massachusetts/Rhode Island area that I'm missing? I'm willing to drive up to 3 hours to go to a good match, but I'm not really finding anything. (I don't like IDPA; too many rules.)
3) State Line Gun Shop, Riley's, Shooter's Outpost are the popular well-stocked gun shops in Southern NH. There's plenty of others.
Gun shops in that area would be:
Collectable Arms & Ammo in Merrimack
Riley's in Hooksett
Shooter's Outpost in Hooksett
Merrimack Firearms in Merrimack
Stateline Guns & Ammo in Plaistow
Those are the only gun stores that stock anything worth while, and their prices are excellent on just about everything.
These two folks have forgotten about Acme Armament . We are right in Londonderry, exit 5 of Rt. 93.
Depending on where you are moving to, we may be closer. Many of our customers prefer to shop at Acme Armament rather than drive to Hookset.
Plus we have ammo and no limits on how much you may purchase. We like freedom.

There is a Tax / auction sale of properties happening in Grafton very soon of which I'm hoping only pro 2nd A and liberty / less government people will take notice of so share this with similar types.
Everyone's elected here even our one man police department.
I am planning a move to NH real soon.
HOw does the law work as regards to getting my firearms there?
Do I have to go through an FFL for each of them? And then have them shipped?
I live in Ma ..hoping the answer is is " just bring them to your new home".
Also how hard is it to get a CCW permit in NH? I have a Ma one and it only took 41/2 months to get a renewal.

Does anyone know of any gun clubs in the Hillsboro area?
