The rarest of mammals in California are the Whitetail deer. The rest of the New World, from Northern Canada to South Peru, is the domain of his animal.
The three subspecies are the Columbian, Coues, and Idaho Whitetail Deer. The Idaho Whitetail is the most widespread, ranging from Modoc County to El Dorado County, and a buck shot at Topaz Lake, Mono County, in the 1890's. The Coues was wiped out from the Colorado River Valley in 1984. The Columbian is the rarest of the lot, and doesn't live in California. You can still see Idaho Whitetail, though they are the last of the Whitetails in California.
