McClintic Wildlife Management Area, known locally as the "TNT area", is located in Mason County about 5 miles (8 km) north of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Located on 3,655 acres (1,479 ha) of former wartime industrial land, the WMA is occupied by farmland, woodlands, and wetlands encompassing 31 ponds. The area still contains stored explosives.
Hunting and fishingEdit
Hunting opportunities include deer, mourning dove, grouse, rabbit, raccoon, squirrel, waterfowl, woodcock, and turkey. 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 (360 mm) or more may be taken in the WMA.
Trapping opportunities include beaver, mink, muskrat, and raccoon. A special permit from the District Wildlife Biologist is required to run traps on WMA land.
Fishing opportunities abound in the 29 ponds available for fishing and in the nearby Ohio River. Warmwater species fishing opportunities can include walleye, musky, tiger musky, channel catfish, hybrid striped bass, saugeye, sunfish, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass.
Rustic camping is available seasonally in the WMA. A 100-yard (90 m) shooting range is also available.
