Swan regulations in West Virginia

[neener92]

Ok, I contacted some people about a pair of swans... We live on a large 1000+ acre farm and have 5+ ponds. I thought a pair of swans would be pretty and neat! This breeder from PA informed me owning mute swans in wv was not permittable.... Although, I contacting ort local fish and game officer and he said there was no need for a permit as swans are categorized with geese... Anyone have more info on this subject?

Hi there, I do not know anything about swans, or their regulations, but you might ask over in the West VA page, they might know.
