West Virginia has allowed permitless concealed carry since 2016 for adults 21 and over who are not prohibited, with a provisional licence for 18 to 20-year-olds. Courthouses, schools and posted property remain off limits. The concealed deadly weapon licence is still issued by the Monongalia County Sheriff and adds reciprocity.
West Virginia's buck firearms season opens on the Monday before Thanksgiving and runs two weeks, with antlerless seasons set county by county. The DNR publishes bag limits and Class N antlerless quotas by county. Centerfire rifles are legal in most counties, and shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal statewide.
Monongalia County is Appalachian hill country around West Virginia University, with Coopers Rock State Forest's public range and deer inside the county and buck season from the Monday before Thanksgiving.
Coopers Rock's state forest range is twenty minutes east, and the hollows hold deer for the bolt rifles and ARs that both hunt here.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out to test a trigger.
