With West Virginia’s firearm season for deer opening later this month, law enforcement officials want to make sure hunters know what they’re doing before they head into the woods.

That’s why the Division of Natural Resources will hold a “Hunter Education Course Blitz” Nov. 14 and 15. During that weekend, some counties will have as many as three hunter-ed courses being taught at the same time.

Every person born after Jan. 1, 1975 must pass the course before purchasing a hunting license.

Look here for a complete list of classes, times and locations. Classes are listed by county. If your county isn’t listed, call one of the following DNR district offices to find out where the nearest classes are being held:

Farmington: 304-825-6787; Romney: 304-822-3551;  Elkins: 304-637-0245; Beckley: 304-256-6945; Nitro: 304-759-0703; Parkersburg: 304-420-4550; and Charleston, 304-558-2784.
