The article is clearly a stub as of this point in time. The importance may be assessed as high since this species is arguably the most widespread large mammal in the state of California. Anlace 04:36, 1 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Accuracy of some sources

~2026-15422-73, are there any problems regarding the details of the CA mule deer? Ahri Boy (talk) 07:19, 11 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yes; a large majority of the information on this page is written in a non-encyclopedic tone, not specific to this subspecies, or in some cases completely irrelevant (there was a source linked that was about plant physiology and had nothing to do with deer at all). Overall, this page needs heavy revisions due to inaccuracies and generally poor information quality. ~2026-15422-73 (talk) 07:31, 11 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Alright, hope this unnecessary and unrelated info would be removed. Ahri Boy (talk) 07:34, 11 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
