I've never seen a vegetarian cougar, so if you have a healthy population of cats in the vicinity likely there is something for them to eat or they will just move on.

Took two bears in that area, had a run in with a Cat and her cubs too and seen TONS of Cougar sign.

I also believe there is an ATV ban in that region. Never applied to me, I prefer to hike anyways. Not trying to scare you away but if I didn't have an awesome cabin out there I wouldn't take time off to chase mule deer there.
