It all depends on where you hunt. If you hunt around the Ohio River, it's not too bad after you get one hill over from the River Valley. then if you stay below the MasonDixon line you'll find some farm land and timber. If you down State or into TheEastern Panhandle, it's pretty much uphill both ways. I used to be Sec. of The WVCHA, and we put on alot of State Hunts, alot of people from out of state said, If they had to hunt here, they'd Quit!!!!!!!!!! But, It's not that bad if you can find a local to guide you!!

iv always like west virginia from what i know of it.im used to thin coon. once i grduate next yr id like to adventually move there possibly. so just trying to figure how it is out there. what kinda of winters it tend to get.

hunting

its getting harder and harder to find places to hunt in my area hey brush you ever coon hunt over at lewis wetzel man better be tuff lol

I'm in harrison county (north central) and I have a good coon population around here. They definately aren't "thin" but aren't thick. The hills here are not real bad here. A lot of my country I hunt has been stripped, which means a lot of roads to the next holler or hill

And winters can vary. Have only had snow stick 2 different times this year. But last two years have been pretty bad. Its hit and miss here

i worked with a couple brothers up that area danny and steve sheaperd i hauled coal off of that strip inbetween lost creek and west milford the coal company i worked for owns alot of ground up the holler on rt 20 when you start up gum mountian and back in century both those guys passed away

I live in the eastern panhandle of Berkeley Co.. It is nothing like it used to be. We are a Washington D. C. suburb now, housing developments abound.I live on the west side of I 81 in back creek valley its not as bad there.Sleepy Creek State Forest is in Morgan and Berkeley Cos. 23,000 acres its not overflowing with coons but if you get away from the roads you can tree a few

Hey 56.I love the hunting up here and so does my pup.I'm use to the rough terrain.I'm heading up to Lewis Wetzel the next day or two if If I can't find nobody else to hunt with,looked like good huntin to me lol.

Mountwood Park

Mountwood Horse Camp ? Yes, We hunt it and pretty tough terrain. We know the country well enough I can drive pretty close to the hounds (most of the time)..lol
We choose our drops wisely.. But you know how that works out...
Hunt it on weekends when time is not an issue, really helps get the young ones to hunt harder and longer vs. "short, behind the house" drops.

I live over here in Bluefield WV right on the line of Virginia. And we hunt alot near old coal mine's and there are roads all through the mountains here. But we have alot of hills and deep hollers which make's it rough sometimes. But i love hunting here.

I live in Lincoln County and the mountains are STEEP! And if your gonna hunt around where I live you better have a coondog! If you get after one it will run for awhile. I was on the Ohio River one night and treed 26.

I'm in the eastern panhandle, Mineral county. Also do a lot of huntin in grant county. Some of the terrain here is steep but there's usually a road you can at least walk on to get closer to the dogs. Coon population isn't bad, helps that there's not too many hunters in the area anymore. Most everybody has changed over to runnin bear.

wv

stay away from Randolph co at least where i hunt its just about all timber slicings, clear cuts and briar patches, with very few coon, i have hunted down on rt20 and down towards fairmont and morgantown seems to be alot more coon down that way
