Terry Cobb provided a bit more insight on this topic. While he did not name the game warden,  that person was well known. . Seasoned residents, especially those fishermen and hunters, already know the identity of the game warden then—Elmer Doty. This man had an uncanny ability to detect anything suspicious and out of nowhere appear on the scene.

This is what Terry relayed to me: “In the fall of 1956 a friend and myself were fishing the Susan River above Hobo Camp when we were approached by a game warden. He asked us if we had seen someone shooting at the Rock Pigeons in the area. We remembered hearing gunfire earlier but had seen no one but we had at other times seen what we believed to be Pigeons flying to and from the river bottom and rail road tracks up to the rocky cliffs above our location.”
