Part 107 in New Hampshire: Hunters' Privacy
New Hampshire bars using a drone to video-record people who are lawfully hunting, fishing or trapping without their written consent. What else matters there.
New Hampshire's distinctive drone rule is in its fish and game law. RSA 207:57 says no person may use a drone with the intent to conduct video surveillance of private citizens who are lawfully hunting, fishing or trapping without their written consent first. The same section bars purposely obstructing those activities.

It does not apply to law enforcement and fish and game personnel performing official duties.
