If you know any avid hunters or anglers, make sure they are purchasing a license through the appropriate channels.
The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) is urging anyone looking to purchase a fishing or hunting license to only go through official DWR websites.

Over the last few years, DWR has noticed a variety of websites claiming to sell fishing and hunting licenses.
People end up paying these sites and either receive a fraudulent license or no license at all.
To buy a license, there are only two official websites: gooutdoorsvirginia.com and dwr.virginia.gov.
In addition to those two websites, you can purchase a license on the Go Outdoors Virginia mobile app or at a local vendor. Click here to find the nearest vendor to you.
These websites are not affiliated in any way with DWR:
- vafishinglicense.com
- fishinglicense.org
- fishandgamelicenses.org
- recreationallicenses.org
- licenses.org
- hunting-license.org
- vafishingdwr.com
- vahuntingwildlife.com
DWR has already taken appropriate actions against these companies and will continue to do so to others as they come to their attention.
