With excessive game numbers, there is also no special season for bow/muzzle loader/pistol and high seat (treestand) hunting is less likely due to size of properties and different tree types.
In most states it is pretty much open season all year around, no tags, no bag limits (on deer), no requirement to recover anything.

Pistol cartridge carbines are fun guns for pigging in swamps, not for hunting on most places.
