Hunting and trapping seasons for several small game species opened Nov. 5 in West Virginia and provide hunters, trappers and their families ample opportunities to get outside during the fall and winter months.

“West Virginia has a hunting season for everyone and our trapping opportunities just add to the number of options folks have for enjoying outdoor adventures in the fall and winter,” said Brett McMillion, West Virginia Division of Natural Resources director. “Small game seasons are also a great opportunity for more experienced hunters to share their knowledge of the outdoors, so we encourage everyone to invite a new hunter along for the adventure.”

For specific small game hunting season dates, bag limits and rules, download a copy of the 2022-2023 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary available at WVdnr.gov. To purchase a hunting and trapping license, visit WVhunt.com.
