Our Season here in WV does not open till OCtober 15th. A couple years ago while out scouting in Mid September. I got busted by a really nice high 7 that we had seen on and off thorughout the summer. I was in a small clump of woods and we glassing the field. I went to leave around dark and had thought I had a goo route. Low and behold this 7 must have been bed down right by the Farm house as he was behing me coming from that direction along the same draw I intended to snek out on. Anyway. I thought I was done. Low and behold Two weeks later on the open he was there along with two smaller bucks. So even after cold busti'n me, I think that being I stayed out after that till the opener. He either forgot or just didn't care.
