California Condor Eben McMillan 10 July 1968 Hugh Smith has no favorable comments for hunters, particularly deer hunters, who he said, have no respect for others rights or property, and he feels they will kill or shoot at anything within sight of the road that is moving. He thinks deer hunters would shoot at any large bird that might come within shooting range of their guns. Remic Albrettie, who also runs cattle in summer, to the south of Hugh and Charlotte Smith, came to the Smith camp in the late evening, told me of seeing Condor and Buzzards feeding in the valleys below Woody on Kangaroo Rats. These scavengers would walk about picking up the poisoned rats that lay quite thickly on the ground after having died from eating barley that had been treated with Strychnine poison.
