About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedUpshur County covers the rolling hill country of central West Virginia centered on Buckhannon, where mixed hardwood forests and agricultural land create productive habitat for deer and turkey. Whitetail hunting is the primary draw, with solid turkey numbers across the wooded ridges throughout the county. The central location and manageable terrain make Upshur accessible but moderately pressured.
Rolling central WV hill country with mixed oak-hickory hardwoods, creek bottomlands, and agricultural land near Buckhannon and the Buckhannon River drainage.
Moderate — Buckhannon area supports an active hunting community but rural parcels absorb pressure well across the county.
OTC; standard WV antler restrictions apply.
Turkey are a consistent target across forested ridges; small game hunting for squirrel and grouse rounds out upland opportunities; black bear occasionally wander through from adjacent mountain counties.
Buckhannon River bottomlands produce quality early-season deer movement; agricultural fields and forest edge are particularly productive during the rut period.
