April 5, 2023 (Alpine) -- Buddy Wilkerson shot this video of a deer in a life-or-death struggle with a mountain lion. It was taken earlier this month along Tavern Road in Alpine, near Dehesa Road in San Diego's East County.

It's rare to spot a mountain lion in broad daylight, let alone hunting along a well-traveled thoroughfare.
