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

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.
