It won’t be long and it will be time for early firearms bear hunting seasons in West Virginia. The Division of Natural Resources announced that the first early season will open on Sept. 2 and run until Sept. 10 in Logan, McDowell, Mingo and Wyoming counties. The second season will be from Oct. 7 until Oct. 13 in Boone, Fayette, Kanawha, Nicholas and Raleigh Counties. The DNR encourages hunters who are part of the first season look for bears near stands of black cherry. Bears will likely be feeding on acorns. Licenses are available at DNR offices.
