    “We want to encourage folks to take advantage of the opportunity to take additional deer during this season. Not only do you get a chance to fill your freezer with more meat, you get even more chances to enjoy West Virginia’s incredible deer hunting.”


    Deer Archery Season Regulations

    Hunters may take up to two deer in one day during the archery season, but only one antlered deer may be taken daily.

    Depending on the county, one or two additional archery or crossbow deer may be taken with an archery deer stamp, for a total of one deer per stamp. West Virginia residents and senior hunters must buy a Class RB stamp to take additional archery or crossbow deer. Still, West Virginia resident landowners hunting on their property and Class DT license holders are not required to purchase additional archery stamps.

    Hunters are reminded that Logan, McDowell, Mingo, and Wyoming counties are under special regulations. Only two archery deer may be taken in these counties, one of which must be antlerless. In 10 additional counties or portions thereof, hunters must take an antlerless deer in any regular deer season before harvesting a second antlered deer in that county.
