Cougars stalk and kill their prey.Usually by biting the neck or throat.I have witnessed a cougar in western colorado kill a full grown mule deer doe.They usually start at the butt and eat their way into both hams,until they are full and then they cover their prey with leaves or grass and pee all over it to try to mask the scent and to mark it as theirs.In the case of a coon, i would guess that they would probably eat nearly all of it.
