Hunting Boar in WVa
 

I have property in Mathias, WVa/ Hardy Co., I was wondering if there is anyone who has seen or heard of boar in this area or turkey in the same area. One more thing, has anynone hunted this area for deer or any other game? If so, let me know how you did! Thanks, and good luck!

RE: Hunting Boar in WVa
 

The wild boar population in West Virginia is limited to a few Southern counties (Raleigh, Boone, Logan for example) and appears to be declining due to competition from other growing populations of deer and bear. Boar are said to be a 'non-pioneering' species and it is unlikely to find them outside of this area.

You may however encounter feral pigs, which are different than boar...

Turkeys...you can find those just about anywhere in the state in good, huntable populations. Call the DNR office for the Hardy Co. district and ask about populations, they can be very helpful.

Good Luck
