Glad to hear on your success. I hope to join yu real soon. What part of the county did you take her in? Good luck the rest of the season.

To hunt Urban Archery season in Fairfax County, do you have to join SWMNV? My understanding is that you do not. Are there any public areas, or is it all private. Thanks!

No need to join SWMNV to hunt within Fairfax County. You just need a place to hunt. Lots of public land in Fairfax County, but notopen tohunters. [:@]

I spent my weekends earlier this Summer driving allaround Fairfax and knocking on doors. Persistence pays off. I've got one outstanding place to hunt all to myself and one other guy. It is absolutely loaded with deer too. When I got this doe the other night I would estimate to say that I had close to 15 other deer around me at the same time. There are plenty of places to hunt in Fairfax without joining SWMNV, you just have to look hard. They (SWMNV)requires too many hoops for a working manto jump throughas far asgetting into the club and they have a "good ol boy" system too. If you are new you get crappie properties and the older guys get all the good places. That's not my style. I can do better than that on my own.
