So I email the DNR about trying to get the number of deer hunters in WV. I figured by now they should have the numbers in on license sales and check-ins. Gentleman emails me back and says the estimate is 330k - similar to number I have heard before. I also asked about number of landowner hunters and he said at this time there is no estimate for that due to have so many request and short of manpower. So not really for sure if the 330K has something factored in to guess on landowners or not. But I guess this sort of blows the 10 hunters per sq mile out of the picture, but I must admit I am still befuddled by just how many hunters are here.
