Hunters may shoot from one-half hour before sunrise until noon during this period. Hunters must observe all WMA area regulations, as well as federal and state regulations. We anticipate returning to the normal procedures for controlled waterfowl hunts next year.
For more information about season dates and hunting regulations, hunters should consult the West Virginia Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations Summary available at DNR offices, license agents and online at www.wvdnr.gov.
