DEER HUNTERS IN 1872


Guam's deer, or benådo, were brought to the island by Governor Mariano Tobias in the early 1770s.

They became so rampant that they damaged crops, including the governor's own garden behind his Palacio.

In 1872, we see a list of deer hunters on Guam.  They were :

Juan del ESPIRITU SANTO
 
Pedro PEREZ
 
Tomas IRIARTE
 
Andres DELGADO
 
Mariano de CASTRO
 
Alberto GARCIA
 
Antonio NAMAULEG
