The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says it received a report of a cougar sighting Thursday within The Dalles city limits and has heard rumors of other sightings in the past two weeks. An ODFW spokesperson says while it cannot confirm the sightings, their frequency and the history of similar situations in The Dalles lead biologists to think the sightings may credible. The department has placed trail cameras around the city to get more information on the cougar’s movements. ODFW is asking anyone who sees a cougar within city limits to report it immediately to them at 541-296-4628, Oregon State Police non-emergency dispatch at 541-296-9646, or the City of The Dalles Police non-emergency dispatch at 541-296-2233. The ODFW is urging anyone who sees a cougar to call so the agency can accurately assess the situation or respond quickly. Residents of The Dalles are also encouraged to feed pets indoors and keep them inside at night, and to be aware of where deer may congregate and bring in cougars.
