West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Regulations

West Virginia’s hunting and fishing regulations set the rules to ensure sustainable use of wildlife and natural resources. They specify seasons, bag limits, and licensing requirements for different game and fish species. Hunters and anglers must obtain appropriate licenses and follow designated seasons to avoid penalties. Certain areas or species may have special rules or restrictions. Regulations also include safety standards and guidelines to promote responsible outdoor activities. Staying informed and compliant helps maintain healthy populations and preserves outdoor traditions for everyone. For detailed rules, consult the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) or their official resources.
