Plum Run - Deer Rifle and Muzzleloader

Plum Run - Deer Rifle and Muzzleloader puts you on 22 private acres of deer hunting ground near Mannington, in Marion County, West Virginia. You hunt it during the state’s buck firearms and muzzleloader seasons. West Virginia manages deer by county, so Marion County is the hunt unit. Hunters there checked 527 bucks during the 2025 buck firearms season.

This is steep and rolling Appalachian hardwood country. Slopes, draws, and benches break up the timber and give deer places to bed and routes to move. The cold of late November and December keeps deer on their feet looking for food.

Up to two hunters have the property for the full adventure, with no other parties on the ground. You park at the garage and walk in, so the woods stay quiet. Five portable stands are available at the garage if you would rather not haul your own. Once your deer is down, the landowner can help with 4-wheeler retrieval.

Adventures run 5 days and can be booked during the buck firearms season in late November and early December, or during the December muzzleloader season. Deer licenses and stamps are over the counter with no draw required, and antlerless stamps are available for Marion County. Pricing is per hunter. There is no lodging or camping on the property. You can grab a meal in Mannington and find hotels in Fairmont.

The property is mature hardwood timber on rolling to steep ground. Deer bed on the slopes and travel the draws and benches. Marion County is open to antlerless hunting during buck season with a Class N or NN stamp, so you can fill the freezer as well as hunt a buck. In 2025, county hunters checked 484 antlerless deer and 55 muzzleloader deer.

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.
