The first attack is to the hind legs and hamstrings. Once disabled they go to the neck.

An adult healthy deer might be difficult for a bobcat.

I'm sure one could take down a yearling

They’d have to be weakened or sick.

Could?

It's possible but they risk injury or death so not likely they would attempt it unless things are getting tough. They can absolutely take a young deer out

Would have been neat to watch. Best I've seen is a bobcat catch a squirrel.
