Not according to this..

<h2 align="left">Characteristics and Physical Features of the Lynx</h2> <h4 align="left">Identification:</h4>

Height: Most adult lynx are 30 to 42 in. (74 to 107 cm.) long.

Weight: Most adult lynx weigh from 18 to 30 pounds (8.2-13.6 kg.). Male lynx are generally larger then females and occasionally weigh 40 pounds (18.2 kg.) or more.

[irishfield]

150 lbs would be a BIG lynx... but I can tell you Jed...this one was more than 30 lbs... I'd say 40 to 50...and we saw it right up close.. too close.,,and a few times after this as well. That said... I can see this going the way of the Wolf ! LMAO

My uncle says they are quite tasty. He had one in his freezer last fall. Not too sure I would go out of my way to eat one but may try it if it were offered to me.

Don't see why not if you're allowed to hunt and trap them.

[kemper]

Thanks, I actually wasnt aware that you were still allowed to do that either. I kinda assumed that an animal like the Lynx would be protected

 

Had one sneak up on me late at night once in the snow, didnt make a sound and scared the life out of me when I turned around to see it ten feet behind me.

Melt fat in a heavy pot, add meat and cook until nicely browned.

 

Add onions and seasoning.

 

Cover with cold water, bring to a boil then reduce heat, place a lid on the pot and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

 

Add cut potatoes, carrots and celery and continue cooking for 1/2 hour or until meat and vegetables are tender.

 

Make a paste of the flour and water and add to the stew, stirring gently until thickened.
