The info on the #5 animal, the Columbian White Tail, is a little out-of-date. It was removed from the ESL almost 10 years ago, and has been hunted in Southern Oregon since 2004, IIRC. It's genetic makeup isn't quite what they once thought it to be. It can't breed with other deer species. It was common belief for many decades that the the Blacktail deer was just out numbering and out breeding or crossbreeding the Columbian White Tail deer, leading to it's decline and becoming an Endagered Species. Now, thanks to a better understanding of this species, along with 30 plus years of protection, the population is large enough to allow hunting, though the tag is through a limited draw.
