I think there are far more. The amount of calls we get just in linn, marion, benton, Polk and Clackamas counties would blow your mind!It seems '6 K' is the number of Cougars Oregon DFW likes to maintain as the current population however I spoke to a ODFW 'wildlife biologist' a few years ago (off the record) and he said 6K is pretty conservative, with reality being more like a 1/3 more than that at 9K - and maybe more.
