California Deer Unit D15

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for California Game Management Unit D15.

Santa Catalina Island is one of the most unusual deer units in California: a narrow, steep-spined offshore island sitting about 22 miles off the Los Angeles coast, where sea-level canyons climb fast to Mount Orizaba near 2,097 feet. Water is the whole game here, with wildlife keying on man-made reservoirs like Middle Ranch and shaded canyon heads through the hot, fog-shrouded early season, then dispersing onto greening annual grasslands after the first autumn rains. Roughly 88 percent sits under a conservancy with gated, permit-only dirt roads. Our pack includes Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, and a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study it all on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
