This is my first Deer season in VA (former NC resident) and I don't have access to any private land. I've been looking online at WMAs, and the only one that doesn't require any special permitting for rifle hunting is Thompson.

Has anyone hunted there? Is it alright? I'd bet it stays pretty busy...

I'll look into this.

I've never been Robin Hood, but it might be time to learn the bow, living in NOVA.
