Moore Odocoileus hemionus californicus July 20, 1929 A buck, with horns still in the velvet, and a doe, observed crossing the road two miles south of Pine Knot, on the Clarke's Traders Road, 7,200 ft. Big Bear Lake, San Bernardino Co., Calif. September 8, 1929. Deer "sign" were observed in great abundance on the Idylwild to San Jacinto Peak Trail, from 5,300 ft to approximately 10,000 ft in the San Jacinto Mts., Riverside Co., Calif. At 6:30 P.M. while walking through the large meadow in Tahquitz Valley, at about 8,000 ft, a group of nine does and fawns were observed feeding. At about 10:30 A.M. a large doe was seen lying in the shade of a pine on the edge of the meadow, and expressed no fright when the observer walked within a hundred yards of her. Another deer which was not seen, was heard making its retreat through the brush, near Round Valley at 9,300 ft.
