About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedPleasants 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.
Small Ohio River county with rolling hills covered in mixed hardwoods and small farm fields; creek drainages and river bottomland provide quality deer habitat
Low to moderate — small county size limits overall hunter numbers and no significant public land draws outside pressure
Over-the-counter tags statewide; antler restrictions apply on bucks during firearm season
Wild turkey present in the woodlot and creek corridor habitats; no significant black bear population in this northwest county
Quiet river-hill country whitetail hunting with manageable pressure; creek-bottom rut hunting on private farmland
