I am originally from hardy county and have some land there and I can tell you that coyotes are rampant--not sure how they got there--you always here things--they are definately there though--you are right about WV needing better overall game management procedures and enforcements--One thing I think also contributes is the field tag system--I know people who put the field tag on then drive strait to there own garage. Thereby never using there tag--One thing I like about the way MT has it set up is that you are issued your regular tag and that tag has the dates on it that must be cut out and put on the animal. and you are in trouble if your hauling an animal with no tag--thats just one thing. Be nice to see WV get it overall act together--even putting antler restrictions like PA on bucks and definately monitoring poaching and your right--nobody hunting deer in those southern four counties needs to have a rifle in the vehicle--especially out of staters that come in to archery hunt.
