(Gold Beach, OR) -- The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is warning of two cougar sightings near Gold Beach. They occurred near Riley Creek Elementary School and near Tomcat Hill/Hound Dog Road. Wildlife is often seen in those areas, but it's rare to see a cougar in daylight. They're normally elusive, wary of people and more active at dusk and dawn. ODF-and-W advises residents to keep pets indoors at dusk, dawn and overnight. Walk pets during the day and keep them leashed. If you see a cougar maintain eye contact, slowly back away while facing the cougar and give it an escape route.
