About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Pleasants County is a quiet Ohio River county in northwestern West Virginia where rolling hardwood ridges and creek drainages hold a solid local whitetail population. Public land is scarce and hunting is almost entirely private, but the low-key character of the county keeps pressure manageable. Turkey and deer hunters who work for landowner access are rewarded with unhurried hunting in classic hill country.

Terrain & elevation

Small Ohio River county with rolling hills covered in mixed hardwoods and small farm fields; creek drainages and river bottomland provide quality deer habitat

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate — small county size limits overall hunter numbers and no significant public land draws outside pressure

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter tags statewide; antler restrictions apply on bucks during firearm season

Species & seasons

Wild turkey present in the woodlot and creek corridor habitats; no significant black bear population in this northwest county

Highlights

Quiet river-hill country whitetail hunting with manageable pressure; creek-bottom rut hunting on private farmland
