We all have our own empirical knowledge based on our own field observations and from the stories and experiences told by others, factual and embelished, according to the integrity and understanding of the story teller, when it comes to cougars, their nature and their influence on their environment, be it predator or prey.
This study, is pretty comprehensive, and lengthy in scope and sequence, and maybe of some interest to some of you. At the least, it may add some clarity to your emperical understanding and explain some of the thinkg we think we see or know, when we see or hear of cougars in our stomping grounds.
It is a recent study, by a reputable academic institution. For what it's worth.
