Depending on how far north you want to go, but many of the state forests between you and Mansfield are populated with deer.
Check the maps in the link handofcod posted above but as a short list of areas to check out...
Around Lake Thomson, Dargo, during season around Lake Eildon you can hunt Sambar. All the state forests around Mansfield. Further north is Mt Beauty.
Be sure to check you're in a legal area because in through the area it changes from state forest to national park and reserves etc.
Depends how far you'll travel and how much time you've going to spend. Not really anywhere you'd just pop off for a couple of hours and take home a deer.
If you're camping out though and making a full weekend of it there are plenty of potential places north of you to justify a couple of hours drive.
