Luray VA.
Blue Ridge mountains, public land, Page County. George Washington National Forest. Thousands of acres.
Many places to rent a cabin or public campground.
I've hunted this area for years and ALWAYS have seen shootable deer there.
Enough land such that you may never see another hunter and close enough to be accessible and close to resources.
Nice country mentality where hunters are welcome too.
