Small game hunting season is under way in New Hampshire.
The season started Friday for hunting gray squirrels. By mid-October, the season will have started for hunting a variety of small game, including shoeshoe hare, ruffled grouse, woodcock and pheasants.
A survey of small-game hunters last year found that ruffled grouse were the most popular small-game species in New Hampshire, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the hours spent hunting.
