I had read long ago that following a bobcat's #1 food source, which if course is rabbit, their #2 food source is deer. That's always stuck in my head -probably because it's so hard to believe. Looking at the size of that cat next to that small deer, makes me think maybe it is true...? Of course, I'd guess it would likely vary from one area/region to another, but interesting to think about.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

On our FB page people send us videos a lot of times with coyotes and cats being filmed with cell phones killing deer. Got one a while back of a red fox taking a fawn in a guy yard.

I wonder pound for pound which Cat species kills the largest prey regularly. Lions kill monstrous cape buffalo, Cougars solo kill Elk, Jaguars kill Cattle, Bobcats kill deer.

This pride of 30 lions regularly kills elephants, some of pretty decent size. There are other videos of the same pride.

IMO another important food source is packrats. You don't hear that much but I am convinced its true. I believe it is what they are hunting when they get caught in that rimrock everybody likes to set. Here in KS you find a hedge row with multiple rat nests it is as likely a spot as that thick overgrown patch of rabbit habitat. Old farm machinery, old shed, anyplace you see packrat nests can be a good place to catch one.
