Here's the first:

The second study is ongoing (on Cedar Creek and BF Grant WMAs) and the final results have not been published yet. I can tell you that after 3 years of research we have not seen recruitment rates even remotely as low as SRS. Site-specific data collected in adjacent states cannot be extrapolated to the whole state of Georgia.
Also, I get the impression that you are only familiar with a few magazine articles covering the basics of the research on SRS and Fort Rucker, but haven't read the peer-reviewed journals from those projects. If you had, you would realize that both study sites were chosen because they had an abnormal problem with recruitment and had substantially over-harvested deer.
Here are those publications in case you haven't seen them yet:

And here's the powerpoint presentation from the Fort Rucker study. Pay close attention to the 4th slide where it indicates the average Alabama recruitment to be 0.60 to 0.70 and Fort Rucker at 0.25.
