Incident #991877
Lake Worth, Tarrant Cty, Texas
1969
Account
Mike Kinson, the a teenager, started looking for the creature after his brother-in-law saw it in 1966. Eventually saw it twice. The first time it was running in the bush and he did not see it well. The second time he was closer, had it in a spotlight and shot at it with a 30.30. Does not think he hit it, but it screamed and ran off.
