Be aware of your surroundings at all times.{ }Keep your dog close to you or on a leash.
Hike in groups.{ }{ }Keep children close to you.
Be especially alert at dawn and dusk when cougars are most active. (Jenna Berman/CC by 2.0)
<p>Stay calm and stand your ground. Maintain direct eye contact.</p>
Pick up any children, but do so without bending down or turning your back on the cougar. (ODFW)
<p>Back away slowly. Do not run. Running triggers a chase response in cougars, which could lead to an attack. (ODFW)</p>
Raise your voice and speak firmly. (SBG)
If the cougar seems aggressive, raise your arms to make yourself look larger and clap your hands. (SBG)
If in the very unusual event that a cougar attacks you, fight back with rocks, sticks, tools or any other items available. (SBG)
