Sign in to contribute

Harrison County in north-central West Virginia presents a mosaic of rolling hardwood hills and agricultural valleys centered around the Clarksburg metropolitan area. Whitetail deer hunting is steady across the county with consistent populations on both private farmland and public WMA land. Wild turkey offer additional upland opportunity in the mixed forest covering the higher ground.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling dissected plateau with mixed hardwood forest and agricultural valleys; elevations moderate in the 1,000 to 1,800 foot range

Hunting pressure

Moderate to high near Clarksburg; rural outlying areas of the county see lighter pressure

Tags & permits

OTC archery and firearm licenses; statewide antler restrictions require 3 points on one antler or 15-inch inside spread

Species & seasons

Wild Turkey populations are solid in the forested hollows; occasional black bear reported in the more remote timbered sections

Highlights

Agricultural river bottoms near the West Fork River produce solid rut activity; smaller public WMAs provide accessible hunting close to a population center
