​Officer Egan was injured patrolling on his snow machine.  He is on the mend and got a nice escort from the hospital.

In a few weeks we will be offering a limited amount of these neck gaiters.  The NH Game Wardens and OGT have worked together to design these for their use in the field as well as to be used as a small fund raiser.  They are in production now and our store will open on this website very soon to pre order these.  Keep on the look out so you can get yours first! 

Unfortunately, OGT will not be producing calendars this year.  Our hope is to do this again in the future.  The current environment prevented us from doing this.  We will have other things available through this website throughout the year.  

Conservation Officer Rob McDermott received an OGT tip from a concerned angler that a person had been fishing Archery Pond in Allenstown early mornings and taking more than the two fish limit. On September 8th, CO McDermott arrived at the pond around sunrise and the described suspect was already fishing. The CO took a position in the woods and conducted surveillance on the suspect. Shortly after the CO’s arrival, the suspect began to pick up to leave. CO McDermott approached the suspect and while checking his fishing license the CO found that the suspect had 12 Brook Trout over the limit. Archery Pond is fly fishing only and is a handicapped accessible pond.

​Operation Game Thief’s Board of Directors has been working with NHFG’s Law Enforcement, Fisheries and Public Affairs divisions to produce some new signs.  The goal was to focus some attention to report potential angling crimes that might occur in the state’s water bodies.
 
After several meetings the decision was made to update a number of signs that have specific rules connected to a waterbody.  The tag line See Something Fishy? was developed.  Fly Fishing Only and Ponds with size limits as well as seasonal rules were chosen.  We also created a new Report Wildlife Crime sign that can be used throughout the state.
 
Each of the signs includes important information on how and where to report a potential wildlife crime.  Individuals can report by calling 1-800-344-4262 or online at www.wildnh.com/OGT as well as to www.nhogt.org
 
Over the past few months we have had a number of people reporting poaching or other unlawful activity on waterbodies.  
 
Look for our new signs and if you See Something Fishy, we encourage you to report it.
