Sisters woman reports cougar sighting A Sisters woman
reported seeing a cougar in her yard on Forked Horn Road just north of Sisters
on Wednesday, July 17.
The woman told Deschutes County
Sheriff's deputies that she was concerned because a neighbor's dog had
disappeared a few days before and its carcass had been found reduced to
fur and bones.
Deputies acknowledged that
the dog could have fallen victim to a cougar, or it could have been taken
by coyotes.
Cougar sightings are not uncommon
in the Sisters area. A cougar was sighted near Tollgate several times
this winter, and runners encountered a cougar on a trail near Suttle Lake
just a couple of weeks ago. |
