Not going to see lynx on the Wetside...

Lynx eat pretty much exclusively snowshoe hare.  That is why they are a protected species in every state that Lynx exist.

That is a summer coat Bobcat...
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

It looks like a bobcat to me too. A lynx would have longer legs, larger feet, a larger facial ruff, and longer tufts on the ears.

Bobcat, it's too small for lynx.  It doesn't have too many spots but it's a bobcat.
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
 He made wide open spaces from the start
 He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
 And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again

I deleted it

I waffled a tad, so 100% wasn't correct anymore so 99% sure it is a Bobby  8)
