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.
