Incident #1000316
The Dalles, Wasco Cty, Oregon
Jun 1971
Account
Richard Brown and others saw the creature behind the Pinewood Mobile Court as he was driving home to his trailer. He went in and got his rifle to look at it with his 8-power telescopic sight. It did not show any fear of the gun, which was a loaded 30.06. He considered firing, but did not. Footprint information the same as for Incident 1000315, so no separate report.
