I think wolves are more effective killers only because they run in organized packs,kinda like organized crime. They hunt as a group exercising their strategic methods almost as a sport.
Cougars are just efficient hunting machines-eat,sleep,hunt.

SEARCHING FOR TRUTH, SEARCHING FOR PURITY, something that doesn't really exist anymore..

there is an old thread on here, a guy got frame photos of wolves pushing a cow elk out on to a steep finger ridge, they had her cornered big time, very smart and efficient hunters to say the least
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

You hit it.  For two winters I watched from one to seven wolves several times just herding, setting up, maneuvering a bunch of deer, then they would move around the hill and work another bunch, just for fun or practice, they were not on the hunt, just having fun.
