Bow hunters in search of white-tailed deer, bear, and wild boar will have their chance when archery season opens this Saturday in West Virginia.  All hunters 15 and older are required to have a valid West Virginia hunting license, unless hunting under resident landowner privileges. To purchase a hunting license, visit wvhunt.com.  Governor Jim Justice said this is one of his favorite times of the year…

“Be really careful about the fire situation. But be really careful about how you handle your crossbow or your bow from the standpoint of standard archery. Just be really careful in what you do and get home safe and sound and enjoy this incredible time of year in West Virginia.”
