About this unit
Sign in to contributeTaylor County sits in north-central West Virginia near the Tygart Valley, where a mix of farmland, second-growth timber, and wooded ridges defines a traditional small-farm hunting landscape. Whitetail deer are plentiful and turkey are a consistent secondary target across the county's mixed cover. The county sees moderate pressure given its proximity to Grafton and the surrounding region.
Gentle to rolling terrain along the Tygart Valley River drainage with mixed hardwoods, agricultural fields, and second-growth forest typical of north-central WV.
Mostly private land; some WMA access available nearby; road access to Grafton area provides reasonable reach to surrounding public ground.
Moderate to high near Grafton and population centers, but rural parcels farther out receive lighter pressure.
OTC; standard WV antler restrictions apply during specific seasons.
Turkey populations are solid; the Tygart River corridor provides some small game and limited waterfowl opportunity during migration periods.
Agricultural edge habitat near the Tygart Valley River creates reliable food-source funnels for early-season whitetail; accessible location makes it a popular day-hunt destination from surrounding counties.
