Murray 1948 Odocoileus hemionus June 13 La Laguna, 6200±ft., Sierra de la Laguna, Baja Calif. Our Mexican guides shot 1 when we started down into the valley, and got 2 while hunting today. Another Mexican shot 1 going down the mountainside. The guide said that each family from the ranches down below shot an average of 2 per month, which should explain why they are scarce. Dr. Benson has the skulls for all 4 deer.
