There may be leases available but that would be the exception, not the rule. Unlike other states, there is more public land available up here. I hunt Maine/NH and most folks hunt private land where they get landowner permission or public land. I would check out the Mane/NH web-sites. You should find info there that would be helpful. Good Luck!

RE: hunting in new england
As far as Maine hunting land goes...More than likely the land that wjsmall97is referring to around howland is private land not public per se. Most all of the public land in Maine cannot be hunted upon. The vast majority of Maines open hunting land is large landowners ie. paper co.'s and mills. We are very lucky for the most part to have many of these large landowners give us hunters open access. That being said we must remember that this is a privilage, not a right. These companies and individuals can always revoke that unfettered access that we currently enjoy. We have recently had some individuals such as Roxanne Quimby (owner of burt's bee skin care products) purchase 30,000 acres and POST it!!! Make sure we all are responsible sportsman! ...I'm stepping down from my "Bully Pulpit"!!
