WV Bear
My first bear after hoping for one in over 40 years of bowhunting. It was a very windy evening I really didn't expect to see anything but 2 young deer came in around 5 they fed around for about 20 minutes. I was hoping to see an 8 point that had been coming around, all of a sudden both deer took off like crazy I wondered what had scared them I knew it wasn't me as the wind was in my face and I was 30 ft in a Hugh pine. I looked up the hill and saw the bear coming I had just enough time to pick up my bow and draw when she hit 25 yards I let fly. The bear grunted one time and took off I lowered my bow and went to where she was standing when I shot there was blood there so I went about 30 yards and there she was. I couldn't believe it had only went that far the 100 grain steelhead had done it's job.

I don't know about WV, but in VA when you buy a big game license you get 6 deer tags, 3 turkey tags and a bear tag. Plus you can get a lot of "bonus" deer tags. It is possible to take 20+ deer a year in VA if you want.
I have a Navy buddy whose grandparents own a farm on the Blue Ridge. They get damage tags to protect the corn crop. We've taken up to 15 in a weekend using those permits. All the meat from those tags is donated to the poor so they don't go to waste.
