West Virginia (WOAY)—The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) will conduct deer spotlight surveys in all its districts throughout August and September. 

During the survey period, WVDNR personnel will drive routes, using spotlights at night to count deer on county roads.  

The survey allows personnel to estimate the deer population, which is essential for making informed wildlife conservation and management decisions.  

WVDNR scheduled this year’s surveys from July 29 to August 12 and August 26 to September 11.

Surveys will begin one-half hour after sunset.
