In my zone DNR states (MN)roughly between 23 to 37 deer per square mile (2005). I believe it, there like cattle out in the fields. If you go for a 10 mile drive right at dusk you could count at least 20 if not more deer outgrazing.

It is basically the Game and Fish Commission trying to get a handle on the deer population. By the way in Bama the limit is over 200 per year in most counties.

In Mississippi, we have a deer herd of over 1.75 million deer, second only to Texas. But, we are about 3rd or 4th in total harvest. That said, our limits are pretty liberal. 3 bucks and 3 does with any type weapon, and two additional deer with a bow. Elder hunters and those with disabilities can use a crossbow. Even with this, our herd is increasing by leaps and bounds. 100 to 200 thousand animals a year.
So, it could be even more liberal. I generally like to shoot two does with my bow and then let my kids each take one or two and then just shoot for a nice trophy after that. Otherwise, the processing fees really add up.
Many states should probably shoot more deer than they do. In time, I think you will start to see more states with more liberal limits.

RE: Deer Tags across the Nation
In Maine 1 deer either sex it is bucks only in this area and the other areas it is antlerless with a permit through a lottery system. We have some expanded archery areas that you can buy doe tags in and 1 buck tag. There it is mostly around our cities and most of the land is posted.
