POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. – Waterfowl hunters who wish to hunt from an assigned area in the controlled waterfowl hunting zone of McClintic Wildlife Management Area (WMA), located near Point Pleasant, must submit their applications by Sept. 3, 2010, according to David T. McClung, Wildlife Manager for the Wildlife Resources Section of the Division of Natural Resources.
Hunting is by permit only on a portion of McClintic WMA during the October split of waterfowl season. Hunters are assigned a designated area, free of charge, and allowed to bring one guest. An accessible waterfowl hunting area is also available to the physically challenged waterfowl hunter. Applicants are selected randomly by drawing and will be notified if selected. Hunters may apply by visiting the DNR website: www.wvdnr.gov under “Hunting” or by printing the following information on a postcard: name; address; telephone number; and the day(s) they desire to hunt. Cards should be addressed to: DUCK BLINDS, 1163 Wildlife Road, Point Pleasant, WV 25550.
The controlled waterfowl hunt runs from Oct. 1 through Oct. 9, 2010. Persons not selected may appear at the McClintic office on the morning of each day’s hunt to apply for a shooting station left vacant by selected hunters who do not show up to hunt. These vacancies are filled on a first come basis. Those not selected for a designated area may hunt waterfowl on McClintic WMA outside the controlled hunting zone. Consult the 2010-2011 West Virginia Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations for more complete information. Migratory regulations are currently available on the DNR’s website (www.wvdnr.gov).
