I wasn't involved in the decision making process, but I believe wildlife officials were concerned that a large predator might have found a marathoner easy to hunt than a deer and subsequently pass that lesson down to its offspring.

In the eighties as a teen I was hunting mule deer in eastern Nevada near the Utah border with some friends. We had about one inch of new snow that we were using to track with. Wound up losing track of a buck when it went over a ridge but coming back the way we came we saw our footprints tracking the deer tracks that then were covered with HUGE mountain lion paw prints. While we were tracking the deer, the cat was tracking us. Left me a bit shaken at the time.
