Subject: RE: BS: Englands Biggest Stag Shot on Exmoor
From about Santa Barbara north, the Coast Ranges of California have the Columbian Black-tailed Deer.

They are relatively small and tame. I sayed over night in Big Basin State Park once and the deer would come very close to people. I never saw anyone try the feed them by hand but you probably could.

California has the greatest diversity of habitats of any US state in, therefore the greatest variety of deer species and sub-species in the country, but the northern coastal populations are essentially the same.
