How was the three buck limit decided on?

Were there biological facts about the herd or was it a just willy-nilly number?
If so, why is that number uniform across the state when the land is diverse and herds unique in different areas?

Also, if it was deemed necessary to have a limit - why just on bucks & why no doe limit?

Your thoughtful responses are appreciated.
I am a member of another forum & we are discussing the possible implementation of some kind of tagging system in SC where there currently is none. We have many legislators who tune in there and some that post.
I'm not familiar with the process that AL undertook to come to its decision. Hopefully I can relay that information to them if it had merit & create a positive impact. Thanks.
