I live just south of you in Kitty Hawk Nc. You need to find an area to hunt out in Franklin to the I 95 corridor. That area north from Richmond and South well into Nc by Raleigh hold nice bucks and good numbers of deer. Basically from Suffolk west . There are some nice farms in the Pungo area of Chesapeake but don't know .
Mecklenburg co. Is a big producer in and near you.
