State Wildlife Management Area in Mason County, West Virginia
The Clifton F. McClintic Wildlife Management Area, known locally as "the TNT area",[4] is a naturalized area located in Mason County about 5 miles (8km) north of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Located on 3,655 acres (1,479ha) of former wartime industrial land, the WMA is occupied by farmland, woodlands, and wetlands encompassing 31 ponds.[2] The area still contains stored explosives.[5]
In the late 1960s, the area was the location of supposed sightings of a paranormal Mothman creature.[6]
Hunting and fishing
Hunting opportunities include deer, mourning dove, grouse, rabbit, raccoon, squirrel, waterfowl, woodcock, and turkey.[2] Special regulations for deer hunting have been established for the WMA to create a "trophy buck hunting" area. Only bucks with an antler spread of 14 inches (360mm) or more may be killed in the WMA.[7]
Trapping opportunities include beaver, mink, muskrat, and raccoon. A special permit from the District Wildlife Biologist is required to run traps on WMA land.[8]
