I am in the navy and stationed away from home and well i am a fish out of water over here. my tactics that i have are all from still hunting in oregon for blacktail and elk, and am without a clue for whitetail and without land to hunt on. if anybody knows some public areas or private land i would be able to exchange work for the rights to hunt it would be much appreciated. thank you.

Here's a start on public land http://www.dgif.state.va.us/ . I have never hunted in the Tidewater area, so there's not much I can say about it. I know the VA WMAs can be crowded at times, but it's generally pretty slow in archery season (Spring turkey is a whole other thing - there seems to be as many hunters as trees in the Spring). You will probably be sharing the WMA with small game hunters, though. If you can travel East, the Jefferson/GW National Forest is a good place to go if you don't mind humping it in away from the roads. I used to survey those woods, and if you are willing to walk, you will find some nice deer.

A.P. Hill military base. Kinda far for you but a great place. $35 permit. 50,000 acres. No dogs. A well run program. If you can make the drive, I can help you out on some spots there.

Check it out.

USNESKIMO,

Fort Lee is just west of you off US 460, I hunted it last year. It has great deer hunting. PM me if you would like more info.

Checkout Dismall Swamp. I think it is right close to you! Deer and bear both.
