California Condor Eben McMillian 4 November 1963 Careless as to shoot an animal that is black in color, has no horns, and was gentle. This hunter told Mr. Ellingbo he thought this sort of irresponsibility would only tend to condemn all hunters as being unfit to be out in the hills. The Cow that was shot on July 20th was also an angus, was black, hornless, and gentle. Cory Ellingbo said he used to go to the top of Frazier Mountain on the first several days of deer hunting season to watch his cattle there and to warn hunters about cattle being in the area; but he says he no longer goes to Frazier Mountain at the commencement of deer hunting season. Past experiences with bullets whizzing all about him when on this mountain has prompted him to wait until the first weekend of the deer hunting season is past before he goes to the top of this mountain to inspect his cattle. He told me that he had taken Forest Service personnel to see the two animals shot last July and August as material witnesses to the event. He also showed me photographs he had taken of the two cattle killed on Frazier Mountain this fall and that he was preparing a bill which he intended to send to the Fish and Game Commission in Sacramento, California asking that they reimburse his company for the price of these two cattle in that he felt the Fish and Game department are responsible for those hunters whom they license to hunt and inform them where to hunt without demanding that they acquaint themselves with the responsibility that must go with anyone carrying a gun on public lands. He will send me a copy of this bill whenever he guess it ready for mailing and he also conserved to sending -
