P.> -California has a popula­
tion of 300.000 to 400,000 deer,
according to estimates at the
California fish and game com­
mission and the United States
forest service.
The deer are increasing de­
spite the fact that hunters each
year kill 20,000 bricks. Moun­
tain lions kill at least 30,000.
Mountain lions, however, are
comparatively rare in the state,
estimates placing their number
at about 300. Since 1907. when
a bounty was put on lions and
a state hunter employed, 4.10S
of the big cats have been killed,
an average of 257 yearly. It
Is estimated that a lion will kill
one deer each week. Other
causes, disease, accident and
<^-otes are believed to account
for another 30,000 deaths of
deer annually. Thus the esti­
mated yearly death rate of the
deer is 100,000.
