As a 62 yr. old native West Virginian and a life-long hunter of the stateI may not always agree with what the legislature and the DNR decide regarding our natural resources. But, I'd much rather have them decide the fate of hunting in WV than an outside organization with no knowledge of wildlife conservation. The open hunting of those counties should be based upon sound biological practices. Many of our counties still do not have fall turkey season because spring harvest numbers do not show turkeys in sufficient numbers. What's next shall PETA and the like also have a voice in our state's conservation practices?
