Statewide, all WMUs.No season limit. Confirmed by two independent NHFG primary sources (live wildlife.nh.gov upland page and an NHFG press release dated 2026-08-13 explicitly for the 2026 season) plus eRegulations as a secondary cross-check.
Governing source is the same NH Small Game Summary Report as woodcock (spring drumming-count survey, 2 routes/WMU since 1999, plus post-season wing-and-tail juvenile:adult ratio). The 2025 edition (September 22, 2025) reported drumming “similar to 2024 in most regions” and a juvenile:adult-female ratio of 1.64 (down from 2.03 in 2024). Not yet published for 2026 as of this capture; expected ~late September 2026.
