Squirrelly weather may delay West Virginia hunting season
West Virginia foresters warn that an extended dry spell could pause the 1998 hunting opener set for Oct. 10. Division of Forestry Chief Bill Maxey says delaying the season is possible but unlikely, while urging voluntary outdoor burning restrictions as forests dry. He notes fires could worsen if rain delays arrive and considers a state of emergency if drought persists with high fire risk.
