RE: West Virginia Deer Hunting Hurting!
I am fortunate enough to hunt in the 4 bow-only counties in WV. There has been a 1 deer limit in McDowell county for years, and they recent changed it to 2 with one being antlerless. I hunt on a 330 acre tract of private land which ties in with tousands of acres of public land. I have seen a rapid downfall in daytime deer activity over the past few years. I believe this is due to a rise in "natural" predators in the area but it is legal to kill yotes and wild dogs, so that problem is being handled slowly but surely!! My point is in WV the 4 bowhunt only county are the place to go!! And if you dont believe me just take a look at some of my buddy Hankfan's posts!! He is hard at em in Mcdowell and the trail cam pics he posts on this site proves it.
