Lifetime Hunting and Fishing Licenses
Did you know you can buy lifetime hunting and fishing licenses online and give your kids and grandkids a lifetime of outdoor adventure?
Online lifetime licenses are available to purchase alongside all our other online license products in our Electronic License System. Don’t worry if the person you are buying for already holds a license or has held one. All you need is the recipient’s name and date of birth. Remember that if the person you are purchasing a license for has never had one, you may need additional information to create a DNR account, such as their social security number or driver’s license number.
West Virginia Wildlife Calendars
The West Virginia Wildlife Calendar will inspire your favorite planner all year. Featuring beautiful paintings of native wildlife and hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation dates, tips, articles and fun facts about West Virginia wildlife, this is a must-buy for any true West Virginia lover.
Each calendar purchase also helps fund WVDNR programs that protect threatened and endangered species and their habitats. Remember that online orders must be placed by Dec. 15 to ensure delivery by Christmas. You can also purchase a calendar at select retail locations around the state or online at shopwvstateparks.com.
