Legislature passes flawed crossbow bill. Officers, Directors and WVBA Legislative/DNR Rep met with Director Jezioro and other members of his staff after the game commission meeting and informed them of the flaws – urged them to have Governor Manchin veto the bill. Governor signs bill into law despite flaws creating the potential for WV to be in violation of American Disability Association (ADA) laws.

City of Charleston establishes first urban deer hunt management practice. City of Charleston council members provided information by Larry Lawson on safety and provides expert consultation on how to improve the proposed city ordinance. Program was limited but generally perceived as effective as no injuries were reported nor cases of wounding. Hopefully program will be expanded on in the coming years and restrictions loosened a bit.
