    Cool Re: What killed this Buck?

    Don't cougars try to bury a carcass similar to a grizzly? That deer looks like it died from being shot. Usually the head will be turned back as their last attempts at fighting off an attacker, not usually just lying straight like that. Just my 2 cents. Maybe someone shot it and couldn't find it? Happens

    I'd think a cat if the chew mark on the throat isn't from something else.

    They do sometimes, but i'm pretty sure they do it less than they don't do it.

    After some extensive research i'm led to believe without doubt it was a Mountain Lion. Most likely the one on my cam there spooking that Doe. It's got all the hallmarks of a Lion kill.

    My understanding is that cougars are territorial. They have a pretty large territory that they use and defend against intrusion by other cougars. That is a reason that problem cougars are dispatched rather than relocated -- because when you relocate a cougar it will probably be into the territory of another cougar and only one will survive.

    Also, young cougars are in due course driven out of the mother's territory and they go roaming looking for new digs. In that way they can show up where a cougar had not been seen recently.
