Bobcat or Lynx

[Crunchy]

I am not good at judging and no other pics or video.  Cool if a Lynx.

Lynx. Those ear tufts are real pronounced and the face shape doesn't make me think Bob.

As a complete nonexpert, I think that has to be a lynx!!!!!

Very cool!

Looks like a lynx to my untrained eyes!

I had flashbacks and was expecting to see a housecat when I opened the video

I’m thinking lynx. Super cool if it is.

It's in an area a few years back I was archery elk hunting.  I had one walk within 30 feet of me.  Just stopped and stared at me.  Kind of freaked me out as they are bigger than I expected and it wasn't afraid of me, slowly walked off.

Lynx, face and ears look like the two that staired me down by Swan Lake (south of Republic) way back when.

That's pretty cool. I was hunting in Alaska one time and had a similar experience. One appeared about 25 yards next to me in a little opening, it rolled around in the dirt and cleaned itself and basically just enjoyed the sunlight for about 30 minutes. Then just walked off into the woods. I too was a bit surprised at the size.

Very cool catch!   (I vote lynx also)

Very much a lynx! Awesome to see! Thank you for sharing!

Lynx for sure what part of WA?

[boneaddict]

That is very cool!

As someone who’s caught a couple dozen bobcats and at least 50 lynx, everything inside me screamed lynx, it wasn’t just the ruffs on the ears but the white scruff under the chin. Pretty awesome!

I agree, looks to be a lynx.  Very cool, care to share what part of the state?

I don’t want to hijack the thread but this makes me wonder who the guy or gal was that brought a lynx to the taxidermist thinking it was a bobcat creating an entire hunting closure in Chelan County?

Great post thanks for sharing.

100% lynx

Looks like lynx to me.
I wouldn't tell a soul on the location.
Especially any state or government agencies.

That's interesting,  I didnt know about this. I used to see lynx back in the 90's in the Northeast corner. They have always been there.

Let us know if you get more footage of this guy or girl! And please post it up on here!

I'm going to be a bit contrary and say bobcat.  By my eye the critter has a completely flat back, vs the raked look of the lynx I've seen.  I also still see some similarities to the face of the attached photo I found on the internet.  I'm entirely willing to eat crow, but man would I love to see what the next 15 second film segment looks like!  Seeing the legs would make me a lot more confident.

Not being able to see the lower body and legs and having seen many Bobcats and a Lynx up close in the wild, I'm going with a Bodcat. The Lynx I saw was very light colored, tall lanky and and had gigantic paws.

Watch the video when that cat turns his head looking up into the tree you can see his beard. Haven’t seen a bobcat with tuffs and or a beard before.
