I chatted with hunters who were about their cars
that were parked on the Point 300 yards S.E. of the Lookout.
Two fellows were eating a snack near their car. They had seen
no legal deer to shoot at. They had seen no large black birds,
stating that Buzzards are unlawful to Shoot. Two Negroes
had hunted down S.E. face of Frazier in morning and had
just returned to their car at 10:00 A.M. They knew nothing of
big hawks, doubted they were protected- Thought it best not to
go too far down mountainside due to everyone shooting downhill.
Thought it safer to stay above. The fellow who had an 8 year
old boy with him said he could take the boy hunting and all
would be peaceful in the family- He hunts deer every weekend-
