I dunno buck. There is a cell here in extreeme northern Wisconsin that have established themselves quite well, near Superior. The winter climate is almost as brutal as it gets in the 48. Maybe not quite International Falls brutal, but close.
We'll have them, the question is how many and how widespread. I'm guessing that there will be pockets here and there where they can find enough food year round, but they won't have the high population density all over the upper midwest like whitetails do.
