There are some studies I believe that say wolves will knock back the cougar population. This is by taking their kills I think.
Anecdotally, in a spot we hunt elk in NE Oregon, we are seeing more deer since the wolves got there. We are also seeing less cougar sign. It's not helping the elk...

If the elk weren't there, the cougar population would decline with the deer population. If there are elk present, cougars will survive on them and kill deer when they have the opportunity. The few remaining...
