There are special seasons in some areas...but the season starts Oct 16th.

Per usual, WV is behind most other states in opening their bow season earlier. Ohio used to open theirs the first weekend in Oct...the looked around and noticed that other states were opening earlier, and now it's the first saturday in sept.

WV also moved theirs back when the began a "youth squirrel" day. This just baffles me. I've been squirrel hunting in WV for nearly 35 years...on both private and public land...and I've never had problems with crowds. But the DNR feels the need to have a youth squirrel day? I'm all for the kids...and the youth gun seasons are wonderful for deer, because the kids can get out there alone and not compete for deer...but squirrels??? Come on now.
