The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) is reminding hunters and trappers that several small game and fur-bearing species hunting and trapping seasons are set to close on Feb. 28. Trappers who harvest certain species must electronically check their catches within 30 days after the season closes. They must also obtain a CITES seal for each bobcat and otter pelt harvested in West Virginia. The WVDNR is conducting an otter research project and trappers who harvest a radio-tagged otter should report the tag number and return the transmitter. Successful otter trappers who deliver a legally harvested skinned otter carcass to a WVDNR district office will be eligible to receive a $20 gift card. Hunters and trappers 15 and older must have a valid hunting license and form of identification while hunting. More information about small game season dates and limits can be found on the WVDNR website. To purchase a hunting and trapping license, visit WVhunt.com.
