I’m a nonresident and I am coming to WV to hunt deer. Does my 14 year old son need a license?
A. Yes. All nonresidents (except those who have a WV lifetime license) regardless of age, are required to possess a nonresident license. Both resident and nonresident hunters born on or after January 1, 1975 must show proof of completing a certified hunter education course prior to purchasing a license. Nonresident hunters between the ages of 8 and 17 may purchase a nonresident Junior license (XXJ) for $15 along with a CS/LE stamp for $12 to take one buck gun, one archery and one muzzleloader deer. Additional licenses are required to hunt antlerless deer and to take additional archery and firearm deer.
