KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WCHS) — Hunters in West Virginia are dusting off their bows with deer season set to begin this weekend and state officials are issuing reminders about licenses and stamps.

Deer archery and crossbow season officially gets underway Saturday, but hunters are reminded to purchase licenses and deer stamps by 11:59 p.m. Friday if they want a chance to take additional deer this season, according to a news release from West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s office.

“With the start of fall and the opening of deer seasons and all of the goodness that’s coming just around the corner, there isn’t a better time to be in West Virginia than right now,” Justice said in the news release. “I want to encourage everyone to find an excuse to participate in this incredible season and enjoy our forests and public hunting lands as fall color begins to set in around the state in the coming weeks. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a million times again, hunting is a time-honored West Virginia tradition and I’m so honored to highlight all of the opportunities we have here in our beautiful state.”

Hunters may purchase their license and stamps online or at an authorized license retailer. A list of licensed retailers can be found here.Hunters may take up to two deer in one day, but only one antlered deer may be taken per day.

West Virginia’s deer archery and crossbow seasons will remain open through Dec. 31. The state’s antlerless deer split seasons will open in select counties starting Oct. 20.

The two-week buck firearms season is scheduled to open Nov. 21 and a deer muzzleloader season will be open Dec. 12-18, according to the news release. A split season for youth, Class Q/QQ and Class XS hunters also will be open Oct. 15-16 and Dec. 26-27.

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resource also reminded hunters that Logan, McDowell, Mingo and Wyoming counties are under special regulations. In these counties, only two archery deer may be taken, one of which must be antlerless.
