How many deer can you kill in your home state?

Arizona- one buck per calendar year.
I think one of the proposals for next season is trying to implement a max of 6 antlerless per hunter across the state. Of course the exception would be reduction zones.
incorrect, although that's the case in most of the state.
If you get to the southeast, you can take an essentially unlimited number, including bucks. If you skip the CWD season in December, you can still take 3 bucks, one with each license type, up to 5 total, with 2 more in October.
edit, I should have read farther and seen more replies!

I kept it simple the first time! It's an absolute mess of info to figure it all out. CWD really made a mess of the seasons!
Yeah, but I'm not complaining...I'm happy to be able to hunt the A and B seasons now.

It's a good question
Re: Middle Tennessee:
One caveat to the bucks/does: it’s Antlered vs. Antlerless deer. Antlered deer are defined as a having one antler longer than 3”.
So, button bucks are fair game and considered to be Antlerless.
Whack ‘em and stack ‘em on does.

Sounds like I need to start driving further west to hunt lol. The deer population south of Knoxville is rough.

1. For simplicity sake - there is a “deer bundle” that gives you the right to hunt deer during any of the main seasons (archery, firearm, muzzleloader, and late antlerless (currently suspended)). With this tag you can shoot 1 buck and 2 does.
2. However, each county has a bonus antlerless quota that is limited in each county ranging from 0 to as many as 3. These tags can be purchased for around $30 per tag and a hunter could theoretically shoot the bonus antlerless limit in each of our 92 counties. Although that never happens.
Additionally, we have an Urban Deer zone that allows you a second buck but this land is entirely private and is located in our extremely populated metro areas.
We also have a few “reduction” hunts that are on a draw system and gives you the right to hunt various parks, refuges, or special case state owned land. You are able to shoot another buck and a set or unlimited number of does on these.
3. None
In summary for the average hunter hunting in a county, you can pretty easily shoot 1 buck and then somewhere between 0-3 “antlerless deer” (I just call them does because I’m a redneck).
Theoretically you could kill as many as 3 bucks and well over 100 does (but no one ever has). I would love to contact our DNR and see if they have documented/tracked and could share the most deer ever killed by a legal hunter.

One deer per year in the draw. No antlerless hunts will be offered in 2024, including juniors. Nevada's deer herd is hurting and in serious trouble.
You can buy as many landowner tags as you want, but they go from $5,000 - $20,000+.

As many as I like, and many farms wish I could/would shoot more.

I live in NM and it's 1 deer per person here. Either you can get a draw or buy a landowners tag. Really makes me jealous of other states being able to get more than 1. No doe hurts either except for a couple units, called an urban hunt. Can only do do hunt if you had buck hunt in that unit for archery. Doe hunt is after all hunts have ended usually end of January till February here for that doe hunt.
I am Metis and have my harvesting rights, so I have no bag limits on any big game animal as long as it isn't endangered. Don't have to apply for tags or draws. No seasons either so I can go hunt year round. I can't complain haha but that also means as an individual I have to use that responsibly and set a code for myself so I'm not abusing it or doing dumb stuff.
