W.B.Richardson Ovis canadensis COPY 1. 1936 GENERAL ACCOUNT Nov. 3 4 mi. SE Porterville, 550 ft., Tulare Co., California. This morning Dr. Hall received word from Mr. Mc.Caulley, Deputy of wardens Calif. Fish and Game, that a yearling Mountain Sheep was in the possession of Mr. Arnold the game warden of Bakersfield. I was instructed to obtain this animal as a speciman for the MVZ. Left Oakland at 12:25PM and arrived in Porterville at 9:00PM. Nov. 4 This afternoon about 1:00 Game Warden Ray Bullare (918 E Mill Street, Porterville, Calif.) and I drove to Bakersfield and procured the Mountain Sheep from Lester Arnold the game warden of that district. (3014 San Emidio, Bakersfield, Calif., Phone 5034). The animal had been skinned and quartered. The feet had been sawed off and given to one of the individuals of Bakersfield who desired to make a hat rack out of them. Luckily we were able to obtain them although they were decomposing and fly blown.
