I think that I over reacted to 1lessdog and I apologize for that.
Interesting study that ol_mike mentioned.
My son and I have been wondering why we find bobcat kills on the road more than we find cougar kills on roads, though we have found both. I wonder if a road makes it easier somehow for a bobcat to stalk or kill a deer? The series of photos of the big bobcat killing a deer on the highway are in that category. Nothing we've seen makes us think that the kills we have found are a cat killing a deer already injured by a vehicle. All of our finds have been on on seldom traveled old and inactive logging roads that cannot be driven with much speed. I wonder if (in line with ol_mike's study) a bobcat size predator takes less punishment when he jumps a deer in the open than he does if he jumps a deer in timber and it bashes him against trees?
