WVDNR Reminds New Hunters To Complete Hunter Education Before Fall Seasons

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WVDN) — As excitement builds for fall hunting in West Virginia, the Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) is reminding anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1975, that completing a hunter education course is a legal requirement before buying a hunting license.

“Hunter education is the foundation of safe and responsible hunting,” said WVDNR Director Brett McMillion. “Our program is designed to give new hunters the knowledge and confidence they need to enjoy West Virginia’s traditions while prioritizing safety and conservation.”

The free, two-day course includes 10 hours of instruction on firearm safety, wildlife management, ethics, survival skills, first aid, game identification and other essentials. After completing the class, students must pass a written exam and demonstrate safe firearm handling during a hands-on practical under the supervision of a Natural Resources Police officer or certified volunteer instructor.

“Taking this class is the first step toward becoming part of West Virginia’s proud hunting tradition,” said Natural Resources Police Colonel Bobby Cales. “We emphasize the rules and regulations of our state, but also the responsibility that comes with carrying a firearm and being in the woods.”

Even if a hunter already meets West Virginia’s requirements, completing hunter education is strongly recommended for those planning to hunt in another state that requires proof of hunter education before issuing a license. To learn more about West Virginia’s hunter education program, visit WVdnr.gov/hunter-education. To find and register for a free class near you, visit register-ed.com/programs/westvirginia.

Fall Hunting Seasons in West Virginia
West Virginia’s slate of fall hunting seasons will start on Aug. 30 with the early split of the black bear firearms season. Squirrel season follows on Sept. 13, and archery seasons for white-tailed deer, black bear and wild boar open on Sept. 27. Fall turkey seasons are in October, and the early firearms season for antlerless deer opens Oct. 23, with additional opportunities in November and December. The traditional buck firearms season runs Nov. 24 to Dec. 7.

For a complete list of season dates and regulations, download the 2025 Hunting Regulations Summary at WVdnr.gov/hunting-regulations. To purchase a West Virginia hunting license, visit WVhunt.com.
