Tehama deer herd

The Tehama deer herd is a herd of deer in eastern Tehama County, California.[1] During the 1950s and 1960s, the deer herd was California's largest, with more than 100,000 deer. In the early 1990s, the herd had dwindled to about 30,000 members,[2] and as of 2001, it had reduced to 22,100 deer.[3] The herd winters in the Tehama Wildlife Area, migrating from places as distant as Lassen Volcanic National Park, up to 100 miles (160 km) eastward.[2]
