Spear Hunting Regulations New Hampshire

Pursuant to the law here in New Hampshire, wildlife may only be taken by "gun fired at arm's length or bow and arrow, unless otherwise specifically permitted" (trapping is the other method).
Fish may only be taken by angling, with the exceptions of:

1. Carp may be taken by bow and arrow with cord attached in the Merrimack River and Mascoma Lake
2. Suckers may be taken between March 1 and May 31 by bow and arrow with cord attached, or spears (in hand)
The atlatl would not be a legal weapon for taking either wildlife or fish here in NH. There would have to be a change in current law through the New Hampshire Legislature to allow its use.
