Plum Creek Monster

Since we moved to Caldwell County in 1976, the Plum Creek Monster Legend has cropped up every few years.  I figured it was a fabrication of the local newspaper to boost up local interest periodically.

A neighbor has been interviewed by out of staters preparing both a book and a movie.  The neighbor knows a lot more about the story than he has previously let on.  He saw a pair (or more) hyenas around the area on several occasions.   He once attempted roping one.  The hyenas were thought to have escaped from an exotic game range in the Rosanky area.  Depredations, eating the innards of cattle, are thought to be the result of big cats rather than the hyenas.

Here is one example of the publicity:
