West Virginian aged 65 and older can now buy a new lifetime hunting and fishing license. The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources says the one-time license will go on sale later this week for $25.
The license will allow seniors to hunt for small game, turkey, bear and dear seasons. They also can fish for both trout and warm water fish, as well as trap furbearing animals.
More than 110 West Virginia artists have answered a call to contribute to a Division of Culture and History Christmas ornament collection. The project was called Artistree. All of the ornaments will become part of a permanent collection.
Division director of arts Jeff Pierson says they posted information about the ornaments on its website, through emails and a social network. Photos of all the ornaments are posted on the Division of Culture and History’s website.
