California Condor Eben McMillan 4 November 1963 Don Adams said he thought more condors were seen during deer hunting season than is the case now. He said that records would be in from Thorn Point and Frazier Mountain soon for all records from these lookout stations are brought in to Chuckupate Ranger Station when these lookouts close for the winter. Mr. Adams said that the lookout from Thorn Point had mentioned a condor coming and alighting near his lookout station not long ago. This bird was to have remained perched for some time before leaving the area. From Chuckupate I drove to Gorman, in Los Angeles County, on highway 99 and met Mr. Cory Ellingbo who manages the ranch properties of Jack Malout and Associates of 99 East San Jose Street, Burbank, California, who operate in the Gorman area, and who have a forest service permit to pasture cattle on Frazier Mountain, during the summer, and fall months. Cory Ellingbo told me that on July 20, 1963 much shooting went on in the Frazier Mountain area; this was two weeks before the deer hunting season had opened. On this date Mr. Ellingbo had a cow shot, with what he thought a high powered rifle, through the head, the bullet entering in the middle of the face midway between the nose and the eyes. The cow had died instantly. Nothing ever came to feed on this cow carcass that lay until the magots disposed of it by the west end of Frazier Mountain. On August 10, 1963 a yearling Aberdeen Angus heifer was shot in the center of the left shoulder and fell in the middle of the Forest Service road that traverses East Frazier Mountain. A hunter who helped Mr. Ellingbo drag this animal away from the road was most upset that anyone, hunting, would be so
