Here's another idea.

If you have any game wardens in the area ask them if they know any farmers/ranchers that are having problems with deer in the crops. Usually the wardens will know and a lot of times the farmers/ranchers will let hunters on to thin the herds. They may only let you shoot does but meat is meat and I've never seen an antler yet that was tender when cooked.

I've done this a few times in a couple different states. I even had a game warden in my native Colorado go as far as writing a letter of introduction for me and he also called the ranchers who had deer in their hay meadows and told them I would be stopping by to see them. Sometimes it is amazing to see what doors the game wardens can open for you.

You didn't say if you are a bow hunter but VA does have an urban archery season. You could run an ad in the paper and see if someone is having deer trouble in town. That might work too.
