Who's Looking After New Hampshire's Wildlife?

Joshua Smith • October 16, 2026

The Future of New Hampshire's Deer, Moose and Bears

This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram's Outdoor Edge, we're heading into the woods of New Hampshire to learn what it takes to manage the wildlife that calls the Granite State home.


Gary Moore sits down with Andrew Timmins, Game Programs Supervisor with New Hampshire Fish and Game, for a conversation about wildlife management, conservation, and the work that happens behind the scenes to help maintain healthy game populations.

From deer and moose to black bears and other wildlife, managing New Hampshire's game species involves research, habitat management, and balancing the needs of wildlife with the interests of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

What challenges do wildlife managers face? How are decisions made about game populations? And what should hunters and anyone who enjoys the outdoors understand about the future of New Hampshire's wildlife?



Plus, Mark Breen from the Fairbanks Museum joins us with the Outdoor Edge Forecast to help you plan your next adventure.

And there's something new coming! Starting in November, Outdoor Edge will begin its seasonal Hunting Reports, bringing listeners information and updates throughout hunting season.

Whether you're a hunter, wildlife watcher, hiker, or simply someone who appreciates the forests of Vermont and New Hampshire, this is a conversation worth hearing.
