The number of white-tailed deer killed in West Virginia during the recently completed hunting seasons fell slightly compared to a year ago. Hunters killed 105,278 deer last year, a 1.5% drop from the 106,861 deer killed in 2020, the Division of Natural Resources said Wednesday in a news release. The most deer were killed in Preston, Jackson, Randolph and Upshur counties. The DNR said hunters killed more than 42,000 bucks during the traditional buck firearm season.
