I live in northern Pa where we have miles and miles on contiguous mountains and forests with no agriculture.The overall over winter deer density in this area is probably less than 10 dpsm.It's actually not hard to hunt if you understand what deer need at different times of the year.The first thing you have to do is eliminate huge areas of overbrowsed forests and concentrate on food sources and cover.In years of good mast production,that's tough because the deer can be more spread out.Otherwise,you have to understand what better habitat looks like by the species that are regenerating.You have to hunt where deer should be,not where you want them to be.
