A Campbell River resident captured video footage of a couple of nervous deer on his lawn Thursday morning.

The reason for the deer鈥檚 nervousness could be seen in the background 鈥� a cougar scuttling away from the scene in Campbell River鈥檚 Discovery Passage area in the north end of the community.

The drama took place in Cody Aubie鈥檚 front yard on the corner of Pengelly and Barclay at 6:30 a.m. and he posted on about it.

鈥淚 was watching the deer (kinda a normal thing for me) as I made my coffee,鈥� Aubie told the Campbell River Mirror. 鈥淥ne was just laying down half asleep the other was almost like rolling around like a dog. Then all of a sudden, they jumped up spooked so I was watching to see if someone was walking a dog down the road.

鈥淭hen I saw the cat. It at first looked to be creeping up on the deer but once was spotted it seemed to change direction and then picked up speed to get out of the open. I鈥檝e been watching these deer since I moved into the house in March. Never would I have imagined to see a cougar.鈥�
