Are they that rare in that area?  I swear I've seen them in central Wa.

I can't say how rare.
But FS has had land set aside as a lynx recovery zone for 30 years now that I'm aware of, probably longer.
In the north half .
So.......might as well get it going.
Instead of making a recovery zone,never knowing if there are lynx.

Pretty cool to see lynx return.

This is actually great. Lynx are extremely susceptible to other predators, especially wolves.
Maybe the tribe can set aside an area to eliminate 50% of the wolves!!

I've never seen one in the wild, but would love to photograph them.
