New Hampshire offers significant discounts for resident senior citizens age 68 and over who wish to hunt and fish. Our low-cost senior licenses bring a full year of outdoor adventure at an affordable price — at the same time they support Fish and Game’s work managing fish and wildlife, conserving habitat and keeping land open for hunting and fishing.
Senior license applicants must present a valid New Hampshire driver’s license or state-issued non-driver’s photo identification card. To qualify for the hunting or archery licenses, one of the following must be presented: a previously held hunting license or Hunter Education card; or a previously held archery license or Bowhunter Education card issued from any U.S. state or Canadian province.
Discounted senior licenses are available to residents who are at least 68 years of age at the time of purchase, and born in or after 1948. Must be purchased annually. Residents must be at least 68 at the time of purchase to qualify for senior rates. Basic prices are indicated below; transaction and wildlife habitat fees may also apply.

- Senior Freshwater Fishing ($7)
- Senior Combination Hunting and Fishing ($7)
- Senior Muzzleloader ($3)
- Senior Archery ($3)
*Note: $2 transaction fee charge per license form, $2.75 online.
All other license types, including Saltwater Recreational Fishing, must be purchased annually at the regular rates.
