The Division of Natural Resources reminds deer hunters to share the woods as bear season runs through the end of the year in most of West Virginia’s counties.
The concurrent bear season will run from Nov. 20 to Dec. 3. Additional opportunities to bag a bear continue after buck-gun season from Dec. 4 to the end of the year. Bear hunters are required to submit a premolar tooth from each harvested bear at the nearest district office. Hunters are reminded to purchase hunting licensure and bear damage stamps online.
