MO specifically allows them, check out this link for the specs required: http://mdc.mo.gov/hunt/deer/firearms.htm. KY allows them, provided they are muzzleloaded, see this link for someone who has actually taken deer with airguns: http://www.adventuresinairguns.com/faqstories-i-13.html?osCsid=a2c41efeb1b14f6405ba61c99b4ceb95. There are some game preserves that allow them, I know someone has used big bore airguns in Michigan to take a nice buck, here is a link to a nice writeup on the subject: http://www.airgunarena.com/index.php/Whitetails_and_Airguns. Sometimes it doesnt hurt to talk to a conservation agent, I had done so a few years back in MO and was making good progress. Then I moved to TX, but a couple of years later, someone else had made the right moves to get it approved.
BTW, here is a great calculator to give you an idea of the ability of a specific airgun/bullet to take down game: http://www.beartoothbullets.com/rescources/calculators/php/thornily.htm
