From NH as well. No crossbow either. Never felt the need to use one. Besides my XLR8 is fast enough!!
Where in NH are you at?

I'm from Nashua. This will be my first year hunting. I am very excited to get out into the field. I have been an outdoorsman (hiking, camping, fishing) my whole life. I have wanted to get started hunting forever and now finally have the means to go. I was going to go with a guide, but I figured I would give it a shot on my own. No crossbow hunting, only rifle this year.
Technically I'm from PA, but I'm going to college in NH, so I've been in the state for three years now. I used to bow hunt up here, but this year I won't have the time. I'll still try to go out for shotgun season though.
