Incident #1000312
The Dalles, Wasco Cty, Oregon
Jun 1970
Account
Two boys, Brian Lebreton and Leonard Hall, camping out at the Trates Point gravel quarry, planning to hunt rabbits in the morning, claim that a huge, heavy, dark-haired creature noved around on top of the bank above them, watching them. They shot it repeatedly with a 12-guage shotgun but with no result except that it went "ump".
