Well‐fed puma (1–2 days between kills) strongly avoided residential patches despite these areas having higher mule deer (<i class="">Odocoileus hemionus</i>) densities and higher kill success for puma. However, the strong avoidance of residential patches completely disappeared as puma became hungrier (4–10 days since last kill) making it more likely that hungry individuals hunted in residential areas and ultimately increasing the likelihood of puma–human conflict.</span></div><div class="">
