A first offense is a misdemeanor.

So basically.... unless your property is properly posted, then the public has the right to walk thru it, hunt or fish, unless the landowner tells them to leave. https://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/landshare/faqs.html

My property isn't posted—yet.

Somebody left sawed deer bones—one on my property, and another nearby in the lake. With high-powered rifle target practice going on all summer within a few hundred feet—and deer foraging all-over—I'm pretty sure who it is.

Course, a "harvested" deer could have been dragged to our place, but is it legal to gut and/or butcher a deer carcass on one's unposted property? In spite of NH's "Free-Range" law for people (not chickens ) that, I would think, is "trespassing".
