CHD Report post Posted December 19, 2003 Ever seen a video or pictures of a kitty cat pulling down a deer? I never had until now. I just watched a DVD entitled 'High and Low in Mule Deer Country' put out by The Eastman's Journal (www.eastmans.com) for $13 plus shipping. The DVD features footage of an average muley buck being pulled down and killed by a cougar. It was made in New Mexico a couple years ago. The clarity is not the best but you can definitely see everything. The first portion with the lion jumping on the buck is omitted. Based on the bucks fatigue, they had been going at it for a little while when the camera was turned on. It is an incredible struggle and goes on for a while because the cat can't break the rutting buck's neck and has to resort to another maneuver. The most incredible part to me is when the buck's sidekick moves in close with his ears pinned back to see if he can help his partner! I would have expected him to run like heck. The rest of the DVD (the muley stuff) is not all that great, IMO. Anyway, I thought you all might be interested in seeing this incredible piece of action for a few bucks. I am not associated with the Eastmans' Journal in any way. Chris Darnell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
