WVDNR utilizes proceeds of wild boar hunt to support Elk Restoration project
SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV – The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) has utilized proceeds from a February lottery wild boar hunt to purchase a UTV in support of the ongoing Elk Restoration Project. In conjunction with Natural Resource Partners (NRP), a special hunt was held between February 5-7 on NRP private lands in southern West Virginia. To be entered into the lottery, resident WV hunters were required to submit an application through the WVDNR licensing system and pay a $10 non-refundable fee. Monies from the application fee benefited a variety of WVDNR programs, including the Elk Restoration Project.
