About this unit
Sign in to contributeCabell County straddles the Ohio River in southwestern West Virginia, with the city of Huntington dominating the landscape and pushing hunting pressure onto a limited patch of forested ridgeland. White-tailed deer and wild turkey hold on in the forested hills south and east of the urban core, with Beech Fork State Park providing the most reliable public-land hunting in the county. Hunters willing to navigate the suburban fringe can capitalize on deer that have learned to exploit the agricultural and woodland edge around the metro.
Ohio River floodplain transitioning to rolling forested ridges; Twelve Pole Creek drainage in the south; mixed agricultural and suburban landscape with remnant hardwood blocks
Beech Fork State Park WMA is the primary public hunting ground; otherwise mostly private suburban and agricultural parcels; limited additional public access
high — proximity to the Huntington metro concentrates hunting pressure on scarce public and accessible private land
OTC antlerless and buck tags; standard WV antler restriction applies
Wild turkey present in the Beech Fork corridor and forested southern ridges; ruffed grouse persist in limited numbers on steeper wooded slopes
Beech Fork State Park WMA provides accessible public-land archery and gun hunting within reach of a major metro; suburban-edge deer can be surprisingly large
