"After a stalk of a few minutes across a , puma crouched behind bush and waited until nearest deer came within 5 ft. Puma caught its hindquarters with its front paws probably because tall brush prevented a leap. The deer was forced to its haunches and after struggling downhill for about 70 ft. stumbled; and deer and puma rolled over and over out of sight into clump of shrubs where it was killed. Puma carried deer for about 50 yds., dragged it at least another 80 yds. Liver eaten and uneaten stomach and intestines removed from hole in deer's side next to ribs. Buried carcass under leaves and weeds."
