if you are keeping up with the drama on catalina they want to kill of the deer because they are non native. This year they decided to cut tags plus make the deer tags only available to residents of the island. Doesn't seem inline with thinning/getting rid of the herd. I hunted it last year DIY. Was a logistic nightmare but fun forusre!
