West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Resources
Every official West Virginia hunting and fishing tool in one place. WVhunt.com licensing and electronic game check, the regulations summary, season dates, the mapwv.gov interactive hunt and fish map covering WMAs and public ground statewide, and the full fishing suite, all linked straight to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. Nothing here is copied or cached, so what you open is always the current version WVDNR publishes.

Licenses and Permits
West Virginia sells licenses through WVhunt.com, the state's Electronic Licensing and Game Check System, on its own domain. WVDNR publishes the license types and fees on wvdnr.gov.
Game Check and Tagging
Game check runs electronically through WVhunt.com. Field tags and CWD test results live on separate WVDNR hosts.
Regulations and Seasons
The rules, the season dates, and the full annual summary WVDNR replaces each year.
Species and Hunt Types
WVDNR's pages for West Virginia's seasons. Deer, bear, turkey, and boar all sit under the Big Game hub rather than separate species pages.
Maps and Public Land
The mapwv.gov Hunting and Fishing Map is West Virginia's headline access tool: WMAs, public hunting ground, and stocked waters on one interactive map, hosted on the state GIS portal.
Fishing
Licenses, regulations, the stocking schedule, and the same mapwv.gov map hunters use, with stocked waters layered on.
Education and Programs
Hunter education, getting started in the field, venison donation, and handling what you take home.
