Did You Know? - In an effort to increase Island visitation through hunting, mule deer were introduced to Catalina Island in the 1920s and 1930s. From a conservation standpoint here in 2019, the introduction of non-native species to ecologically special places, like Catalina, is universally viewed as a bad idea. You simply wouldn't be allowed to do it in this day and age. But things were different back in the '20s and '30s.
Nonnative mule deer now in Catalina Island Conservancy's cross-hairs. ... Now, nonnative mule deer are in the cross-hairs. The mule deer — whose population now stands at about 2,400 — is the most destructive invasive species left on the island, situated 22 miles south of Palos Verdes Peninsula
