New Hampshire does not open a mourning dove season.Dove does not appear anywhere in NHFG's official 2026-27 FINAL migratory bird season document (which lists ducks, mergansers, coots, sea ducks, Canada/snow geese, brant, woodcock, snipe, and crow) nor in eRegulations' NH waterfowl/migratory regulations page. This is a standing NH policy choice, not a species-absence issue -- mourning doves do occur in NH. Federal frameworks would permit a state season if NH chose to open one; classified as structurally closed rather than not_regulated because a season could exist under federal migratory bird rules.

Population outlook

New Hampshire 2026

Awaiting survey — New Hampshire 2026

New Hampshire has no mourning dove hunting season at all -- confirmed absent from NHFG's official 2026-27 FINAL migratory bird season document and eRegulations' NH migratory regulations page. A standing state policy choice (doves do occur in NH), not a species-absence issue. No forecast product exists to gate; the federal USFWS report isn't actionable for NH hunters.
