Commentary: North Dakota study shows effects of winter without wolves on whitetails

The Timberjay has received considerable comment this fall in response to a two-part series examining the causes of the decline in the deer population in our (northeastern Minnesota) region. I was surprised that it was mostly positive, because I recognized that the stories I wrote were challenging some pretty deeply-entrenched views.
The one major factor that I did not address in the series was the effect of winter on deer, which I believe indisputably is the single-most critical factor in white-tailed deer survival in our area.
