I wouldn't be apposed to one buck myself, but if you guys look it up, the mid west States are no different in exception of Ohio. Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, and so on are all allowed at least 2 bucks and if you are a land owner you can get up to 3! So I don't believe it necessarily the numbers of bucks taken. It's the length of the shotgun/ rifle seasons and the timing of them. Not to mention the number of people of reside from state to state that hunt. I know where I am it's every other tree vs. Other places out west where it can be miles.
