I am originally from Hardy Co (Moorefield) and still go back there to hunt and see family around thanksgiving. One thing to remember, especially during the first few days of rifle season if you are looking for success is plan to stay out the entire day--pack a lunch-- and take it with you. Traditionally, in that area, almost all hunters come out of the woods at lunch time and head to the trucks or the house--this is a great time to be at a good vantage point to watch for deer they jump as they start to move out. Another is if you are hunting a heavily pressured area, The deer go into hunting season mode--usually by noon on the first day, that is they know what's up so after the first couple of days look for places that have thick cover and offer some security and get to these early in the morning and wait. These places are not always grandiose--a little patch of heavy cover anywhere that is neglected by hunters could easily hold deer. Look for extremely fresh sign during rifle season and be delicate with your presence in those areas. Use scent control and Don't be afraid to use calls and attractant scents as many of the old time hunters still don't and the deer in some areas have not been exposed to much of it. Deer in less pressured areas will act more naturally with activity strongest at both ends of the day. the Mathias area is a checkerboard of lower lying agricultural fields and rolling woodlands with some steeper terrain. There is lots of deer but not a lot of big ones. Have fun and cherish the time with your grandfather--hunt right together when possible so you can have the most interaction because the shared experiences will make the whole thing richer for both of you--good luck
