I do not think the sample size is statistically valid but it is interesting to read. Basically you can conclude what we already know a) habitat matters b) do your best to control predators c) don't shoot every doe out in the woods.
1) I think the biggest failing is that with such a small sample is that the Northern deer might not have been close to a wolf pack at all and the kills by wolves would have been higher.
2) To suggest all areas in the East have great habitat is misleading.
