Cougar kill!

[mulehunter]

Are you sure its a cougar kill?  Most cougar bury the kill, not always, but most of the time.  They usually eat the organs first then work on the top of the carcass.  Might be some thing other than a cougar.  I'm not there so you may be right, just a thought from looking at the photo.  Good luck, hope you get the cat if that's what killed it. 

   I agree with LRP.  Cougar normal cover it with brush, stick, etc.  I believe it was injury deer and died by Coyote take it down and ate little.  I may be wrong.  Male Cougar can ate WHOLE one night. Female Cougar would cover it and go bring kitten to carcass...   If it was me. Look at Deer if it has 4 scratch mark and see if cougar bite neck or cover nose with cat mouth to kill it. Or look around for trax on what kill it. Look up all trees if Cats climb up and wait with in 200 to 400 yds. or Call them in...  I would put up trail camera point at Deer.
Good luck.
