Yes that is true, but as was said at the beginning of this post, they are rapidly increasing in numbers and that means that the current prey population that supports them now will not support then if they continue to increase in numbers like they are..The current prey population will only decrease as the mountain lion population increases... I don't really think that they will eat all the deer however when the deer population goes down don't think that a mountain lion won't look elsewhere because he will. And as far as seeing one of them, usually when you do see one it is too late. It's just much too big of a risk to go unprotected,
especially in areas in the south and the east where they are already pretty populated. Hope that helps...Happy Trekking...sabre11004...
