Default RE: West Virginia Bow Hunting

I'm the opposite. I live in PA, but do my hunting in Preston Co. See and shoot plenty of nice bucks each year.


ORIGINAL: UnionHUNTER

Why in the world would you want to pay someone to hunt in West Virginia? Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of public land within the great mountain state but since the states DNR ruined the hunting in West Virginia by slaughtering all the does in recent years, it's NOT WORTH hunting there at all anymore. I am a West Virginian and I used to hunt in the northern (Monongalia, Preston, Marion, Harrison) counties until about 5 years ago I got smart. I was tired of setting in my treestand(s) for 6-8 hours and not even seeing a deer, alot of times on opening gun season as well. I then purchased an out-of-state hunting lisc. in Pennsylvania and enjoy the hunting much more since they (PA) have an antler restriction on their deer (bucks) unlike West Virginia where the states DNR lets you kill entirely too many deer and slaughter the does and ruin the hunting there.
