Yes,many that live in cities do not have a clue about what other things that share their neighborhoods or how to deal with them.I was working in Chicago several years ago and watched some local guys trying to call up and pet a coyote they thought was a starving mixed breed German Shepard.[8|] Or me sighting a red fox,a deer and many coyotes and racoons at different times while driving a delivery truck at night in Memphis,Tn.
I do not believe a cougar will try running down a full sized deer,but a fawn it might.And I know they will jump from a higher level onto a deer or other prey.I have found a deer that was half eaten and covered debris with cat tracks around it so I do know they will eat one.I have horses and worry a little about them,not because the cougar might attack...but from the horses hurting themselves trying to get away if they are frightened.The first time I knew for sure that we had big cats here was when I went bow hunting and walked to my ground blind before daylight.Walking back to the truck later,I glanced down in the dust on a turn row and saw the cats tracks on top of my tracks from earlier.I never saw the cat that day,but that sure gave me a chill and caused me to pay closer attention to my surroundings.
