I live in Greenbrier County, WV and work a lot of that area. Not too sure on the actuals of deer in Richwood, but the surrounding areas they are still out there. Acorns are the heaviest i have seen in years, the apple trees are still over flowing, it is extremely dry right now, with no rain called for, for 10 more days. Deer are going to be hard pressed to pattern this year as they have food everywhere. if we don't get a step up in the rain, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't do something to gun season. Yeah our laws are pretty much cut and dry. Have to have permission to hunt, and make sure you understand the laws to what counties you can shoot does, and ones you can't. The bow only counties are in the south, the rest are both gun and bow. good luck
