In all my time hunting all over the state I've never seen one. Then again the SW corner of the state is one area I haven't really hunted either. I find it hard to believe there is any population in Center Harbor, if those things were around, especially if they were to the point of having a population problem I'm sure it would be well known. They can be pretty destructive and aggressive if agitated. That is one animal you don't want getting out of control.
That said they are very good eating.
From what I understand the population of them in NH is confined on a private game ranch.
