A single cougar would have no trouble keeping the freezers of half a dozen households filled with fresh meat.
Adult cougars kill a deer or elk an average of about once every
seven days. At least they do in the Mount Emily Unit of Union and
Umatilla counties, according to the preliminary results of a government
cougar ecology and management study. The Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife is conducting the study in cooperation with the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Umatilla National
Forest, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and many area land owners.
The predation study, which started 18 months ago, has involved about
30 cougars to which radio collars with GPS units were attached.

 Chris Dudley, the 6-foot-11 ex-NBA basketball player who narrowly missed
being elected Oregon’s next governor this week, would consider ducking
if he walked into this indoor archery range.
The range, in the basement of the Eagles Lodge, has a ceiling between
7 and 7 1/2 feet high. Dudley could easily touch it by barely raising
an arm over his head.
Tall visitors might not like the low ceiling, but it is a slam dunk
with most archers. The ceiling, filled with fluorescent lights, provides
near-perfect illumination for archers.

“Learning that was quite a rush,’’ Campbell said.
