Greenbrier County is the largest county in West Virginia and arguably its finest all-around big-game county, encompassing the broad Greenbrier Valley, the Allegheny Mountain front, and vast tracts of Monongahela National Forest along the eastern border. White-tailed deer, wild turkey, and black bear all reach their potential here across a landscape that ranges from productive valley farmland to remote high-country ridges above 4,500 feet. The Greenbrier River corridor, Monongahela National Forest, and multiple state forests combine to give hunters exceptional public-land options across an enormous geographic canvas.

Terrain & elevation

Broad Greenbrier Valley flanked by the Allegheny Mountain front to the east and Appalachian plateau ridges to the west; Greenbrier River runs the length of the county; elevations range from roughly 1,700 feet in the valley to above 4,500 feet on the Allegheny crest; Droop Mountain and Cranberry Backcountry areas add remote character

Hunting pressure

moderate — large county with well-dispersed public land keeps pressure from concentrating; known to serious WV hunters but not overwhelmed

Tags & permits

OTC antlerless and buck tags; standard WV antler restriction applies; check zone boundaries within the large county footprint

Species & seasons

Black bear well established across the forested portions; wild turkey population excellent with Greenbrier River riparian zones serving as core habitat; the county consistently produces quality bucks from valley agricultural edges

Highlights

Greenbrier River corridor combines trophy deer potential with accessible public-land turkey hunting; Monongahela National Forest access on the Allegheny front offers genuine wilderness bear hunting
