WVDNR Launches Updated Hunting, Fishing Licensing System

   SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.VA. — The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources on Monday launched an updated electronic licensing system, which will make it easier for hunters and anglers to buy a license and check game.

   The updated system is available at www.wvhunt.com and allows sportspersons to purchase a West Virginia hunting and fishing license and check game at their convenience over the Internet, at license retailers throughout the state and at WVDNR district offices.

   “We are continuing to innovate the way we serve outdoorsmen and women in West Virginia and this updated ELS system will make it easier for folks to buy their license and stamps each year, check their game and apply for lottery hunts and look for other hunting and fishing opportunities in our beautiful state,” said WVDNR Director Stephen McDaniel.

   The updated licensing system features:

  • A modern interface that is easier to use and more secure.
  • A responsive design that works on smartphones, tablets and computers.
  • An improved cart and checkout experience.

   In addition to buying a license and checking game, users can use the updated system to look up information about hunting and fishing regulations and find important information about outdoor recreation in West Virginia. Users also can print licenses and field tags and manage their DNR profile.
