Pretty much like leopard killing sambar (like this https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-leopard-predation-thread?pid=80982#pid80982 @smedz ). Difference I found is leopard use it's hind claws to push away deer (at 4:34) when they hit them with those hooves and it's a long struggle unusually like leopards.

Here's an article on how cougar predation on White-tailed Deer in the Eastern U.S.A can be very beneficial to us. Hunters won't like this, but this is what science is telling us, and if they don't like it, that's their problem.
