RE: mountain lions in ny
I don't have a problem with a bobcat taking a deer. Especially around here where they grow large. I just wonder how much of a deer they will eat at one time. The cat killed deer I found ten years ago had both hams gone as well as the heart and liver before the remains were completely covered with pine needles and deer hair. Ten days later something came back and ate all the rest of the meat. I wish I had measured the spread of the holes in the doe's throat so I would know for sure. At the time I just figured it was a cougar. From what I had studied about wildlife it was a cat kill for sure and no one then ever mentioned bobcats being able to kill adult deer.
