The West Virginia maple, oak, and elm trees are beginning to turn lustrous shades of red, yellow, and orange. This annual transformation can only mean one thing: the return of WVU and Marshall Football? Correct! Additionally, the change in seasons signifies the onset of hunting season (a.k.a. “Camo and Ammo Time”).
Hunting is ingrained in the fabric of many West Virginians. It’s a time-honored tradition passed down from generation to generation. Folks ritualistically take to the woods with friends and family to hunt their game of choice.
Most seasoned hunters are familiar with regulations governing hunting. Foremost among these requirements is the need to check your deer at a station sanctioned by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (“DNR”). This year, the DNR is adding a technological twist to the game checking system.
The old rule required that hunters bring their game to a DNR checking station within 72 hours after shooting the animal. Now, hunters may call 1-844-WVCheck to check their game via telephone. Hunters may also visit WVhunt.com to check the game directly from their smartphone. The new system eliminates a potential 60 or 70 mile trip for the hunter to lawfully check his game with the DNR.
September 26 marked the start of hunting season in West Virginia. Be sure to visit the Kay Casto and Chaney website for additional updates and considerations throughout hunting season.
