West Virginia Duck and Goose Hunting Report Archive

Posted By: waitinforwaves Guest Central Wv 01-15-2005 11:37 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 25-30 Degrees – Ice Tried an old spot I’ve been hunting for about 15 years. Just as I was getting ready to walk in 4 guys rolled in. Found out the spot gets hunted hard these days. Saw 1 duck – usually see dozens. A few geese came in and they got a few. Might be done in WV for the season. Headed to the Chesepeake Bay for the next 2 weekends. Real duck hunting. Posted By: waitinforwaves Guest Zone 2 scouting 01-11-2005 20:06 Cloudy, Rain & Thunderstorms – 45-50 Degrees I had to work in the Elkins area today and couldn’t help but to look for ducks. Zone 2 always seems to have the most ducks after it goes out – this year was no different. Flooded areas around the Tygart River were loaded with… Continue reading

Posted By: waitinforwaves Guest River 12-12-2004 10:53 Cloudy, Heavy Fog – 50-60 Degrees Friday, December 10 Had 2 buddies I turkey hunt with come up from Georgia wanting to shoot some ducks. One of them had never duck hunted before so I skipped filling my doe tags to try to find them some ducks. A 50 minute boat ride in heavy fog is never fun. Even to hunt. We only saw 8 birds and they sky busted a pair while a quad of mallards was trying to set in the side. On the way out we saw some birds in a spot I’ve hunted before so were are headed there on Saturday.

Posted By: jfowler Guest 01-07-2004 12:44 – – – Waitinforwaves……I sent you a Private message a while back, did you ever get it? just curious. Let me know if you are interested in meeting up sometime for some WV hunting. Jason Posted By: waitinforwaves Guest Zone 2 01-03-2004 19:46 Cloudy, High Winds – 50-60 Degrees Hunted a flooded pasture I’ve been seeing ducks on for the third time. 1st time they landed in the pasture while I was set up on a pond. 2nd time the ice kept them from coming at all. This time I set up in the flooded pasture and they set-in on the far side of the pond. Of the couple dozen mallards I saw, only a pair came in range and I cut the greenhead. The others would have nothing to do with the dekes, calling or mojo mallard. Did see several hundred geese in… Continue reading

Saturday, had 4 by 8:45 and finished up with the limit on a short float. Posted By: WV Gino Guest Mon/Preston Counties 08-01-2003 21:36 Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – Over 70 Degrees Went out scouting for resident geese Wed. Found a couple of flocks at farms I have permission to hunt. Found one good sized flock on a farm I have never stopped at. Gives me something to do this weekend. Stopped by the river front park in Morgantown this evening and saw alot of mallards. Wonder if they ever leave. Working on getting someone from work to fly some areas of interest with a GPS reciever looking for geese for me. WV Gino Posted By: Forum Moderator root 02-24-2003 15:40 – –… Continue reading

Posted By: wtrfwlr44 Guest Muskingham River across the Ohio by Williamstown 11-17-2002 11:17 – – – Sorry, not a hunting report. I live in Virginia, am from Marietta Ohio. My mom called me this a.m., from Marietta. Said the Muskingham River, in the city, was black with Canada Geese. Figured they are migrators as the city doesn’t hold this many resident geese. This is close to where the Muskingham meets the Ohio. Thought someone down in that neck of the woods might want to know. Good luck too all, with your season. Be safe. Posted By: Eric-Gerencir WFC Sponsor Southern WV 11-05-2002 14:47 Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 50-60 Degrees Hunted from a canoe(the woodduck stalker) on a lake. Many hardwoods surrounding the lake, so you guessed it…Woodducks! I hate to say it but I shot better left handed than right handed. My buddy would hate to admit it too… Continue reading

Posted By: Don-Molter Guest Field 01-12-2002 16:11 Cloudy, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees The snow melted over the past three days due to warmer weather and rain. The Geese are moving fairly well and some migrating birds were seen this morning. My group of four hunters entered the field, set up our decoys and were ready at 7:35. We were limited out (12 geese) at 8:05. It was a great day. Birds working our spread from all directions. I was using my new 360 degree goose chair from Semmler. Wow what a great hunting tool. Being able to rotate fully, keeping your eyes on the birds is just super. Comfortable, too! WV season in our zone continues to the end of January.

Posted By: Don-Molter Guest Field 08-29-2001 22:01 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees Saturday 9/1 marks the opening of the 2001 Goose Resident Bird season in WV. Several new and important items of interest should be reviewed. First, the new daily bag limit for the early season is 5 Geese per day, per hunter, with a possession limit of 10. This is up from former year limits of only 3 per day. The follow up seasons will return to the 3 per day limit. The second item of interest is the repeal of the Sunday Hunting “Blue Law” in WV. While the new law is quite confusing (if you only knew the whole story) and many Sunday’s are still off limit, the Sunday’s in the early Goose season are open to hunting. This will mark the first legal Sunday hunting in WV since Colonial Days (when we… Continue reading
