Plum Run - Deer Archery

Plum Run - Deer Archery is a private deer hunting opportunity for bow and crossbow hunters on 22 acres of Appalachian hardwoods near Mannington, West Virginia. The property sits in Marion County, which is the hunt unit under West Virginia’s county based deer management. Archery and crossbow hunters in the county checked 502 deer in the 2025 season.

The timber rolls back from the road frontage into steeper hardwood slopes. Draws and benches give deer cover and natural routes to travel. It is tight, quiet woods where a well placed stand on a transition can put a deer inside bow range.

Your party of up to two hunters has the property to itself for the full adventure. Park at the garage and slip in on foot, keeping pressure low on the deer you came for. Five portable stands are waiting at the garage, or you can bring your own. The landowner has 4-wheelers and will help get your deer out.

Each adventure runs 5 days during West Virginia’s archery and crossbow season, which opens in late September and runs through December. Licenses and stamps are sold over the counter with no draw. Pricing is per hunter. There is no lodging or camping on site. Food is available in Mannington, and hotels and restaurants are a short drive away in Fairmont.

Whitetails bed on the hardwood slopes and use the draws and benches to move between cover and feeding areas along the timber. Marion County hunters checked 1,577 deer across all seasons in 2025. Expect stand hunting in mature hardwoods on rolling to steep ground. October brings cool weather movement, and the November rut is the peak.

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties, and continue to put conservation at the forefront, we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year's harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.
