Public land in southern NH is pretty hard to come by. All of the WMNF is open to hunting with special regulations but that far south might be difficult. The best bet is to try and gain permission to hunt on private land but it's a little late in the year for knocking on doors.
If you're willing to drive a bit further there is some public land in Exeter NH. It gets hunted pretty heavily(it's 10 minutes from my work but I drive and hour for less pressured ground) If you come up 95 take 101 west and get off @ exit 9(ret 26). Take a right and follow about 250 yds and there is a "drive way that passes under 101 on the left. Take that and it leads to a farm house on the other side of 101. It's posted public multi-use land and is open to hunting.

I work in Amherst and there isn't much public land around. Your best bet is to find town land open to hunting and there is some good pieces around.
A place you are more than welcome to try if you have a canoe... put in at the Souhegan River canoe point near the Amherst Country club off of 13, float down river through the course ... just past the course there is a real thick block that is only accessible from the river, that has a very healthy population of deer. I don't hunt it because I have areas just as good that don't require me to paddle back up a river. Good luck.

Is there a season for knocking on doors? It's never too late to ask for perrmission to hunt. I'll knock a door the last day of the season if I thought a I had a spot I needed to try.
southern NH hunting land?
