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.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Looks like a lynx to my untrained eyes!

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

I’m thinking lynx. Super cool if it is.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

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.

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!
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
