Girard Caught by Game Warden with Venison

Girard's men shot deer whenever he pleased — until a game warden checked what he was driving home to Los Angeles.

Victor Girard had no respect for game laws and would order his men to kill deer at any time. On one occasion he was taking venison home to Los Angeles out of season and found the game warden waiting at The Corrals. Asked if he had venison in his possession he denied it indignantly. At this point the wardens dog ran over to the packs and began sniffing suspiciously. The pack was opened and there were two fine haunches of fresh deer meat. Girard was hauled into court to pay a stiff fine.
