okay, that's just stupid - Contact - Suburban Whitetail Deer Management - they have a website
SWMNV operates primarily in the Northern Virginia counties of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Fauquier. However, other areas of operation include Warren and Clark Counties. Within these counties, SWMNV is available for Kill Permit, Deer Control Assistance Program (DCAP), and Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) programs on anything from a small suburban lot to a large farm, nursery or development project.
