Default How many states get one deer?

Meaning you pretty much get one tag total? Minnesota breaks the state into several hundred permit areas, the overwhelming majority are "Lottery," meaning you can take one deer and have to draw for a doe permit for gun season, or "Hunter's Choice," meaning you can take one deer but can take either or. A handful of areas are "Managed," meaning you can take two deer, but only one buck, and very few "Intensive Harvest," which is up to 5 but only one buck. Anywhoo, seeing all these does on the contest makes me think of the good old days when you could take a doe for some venison and then wait for a buck. Our population is healthy but the DNR says people want to see more deer. How many other states only let you take one deer even though there's no shortage?
