A law allowing deer and elk hunts to continue indefinitely on Santa Rosa Island (part of the Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California) is in Congress’ sights. Passed last year, the law isn’t likely to survive the week. Sen. Dianne Feinstein has included a repeal in a spending bill that could pass the House momentarily and the Senate within several days. Find out more about the island at a site that includes a slide show of its landscape, visitor information and fun facts. (Did you know the world’s most complete pygmy mammoth specimen was found there in 1994?)
