Explore HuntsProminent Land Features
West Virginia’s hunting country is defined by the rolling heights and hollows of the southern Appalachians, with elevations ranging from gentle river bottomlands to rugged ridgelines cresting near 5,000 feet. Two-thirds of the landscape is mature hardwood forest—oaks, hickories, maples and pines—interspersed with agricultural clearings, reclaimed mine lands and river bottom fields. Crisscrossing the terrain are rocky streams, spring-fed creeks and larger rivers that carve steep valleys, providing water sources and natural travel corridors for game. Public wildlife management areas and national forest tracts border private timberland, creating deep woods and edge habitats favored by white-tailed deer, black bear, wild turkey and a variety of small game.
Explore HuntsAmenities
Hunts in West Virginia are typically based out of rustic cabins or lodges nestled along ridgelines and river bottomlands, with some outfitters also offering remote tent camps. Accommodations generally include private or shared rooms furnished with beds, while more backcountry setups use cots or bunks in heated tent shelters. Heating options range from wood-burning stoves and propane heaters to modern climate-control systems (including air conditioning in warmer months). Communal dining and gear-prep areas are standard, and portable blinds or ground shelters are provided in the field for a comfortable, supported experience throughout your hunt.
