Hi Fritz. I was born in Greenville, or as it's called locally G'ville. I move to Wash., DC, but moved back when my wife suggested the move.
Go to
http://www.racksnspurs.com/ click on "Deer Distribution in NC". That maps the deer density in NC. G'ville is a college town. Raleigh has a good mix of yanks, rebs and others. Charlotte is a major banking center. The larger deer in NC come from the piedmont region. High harvest of deer would be in Northhampton and Hailfax counties near VA border.
Click the "NC Wildlife Resources Com." link to find gamelands (public hunting). Click maps at the top of page.
If you have other question, give me a shout.
