Out4Trout Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) This fella strolled past my trailcam, 2 weeks ago, in our woodlot. We live in a remote area, have seen a few black bears, lots of coyotes but this is the first cat on the trailcam.

DRIFTER_016 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Saw one in December on my way South. First time I saw one was when ice fishing South East of Yellowknife. Saw a family group of 6 on the lake a few hundred yards from where I was fishing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a reason for it not to there. Edited March 9, 2020 by John Bacon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeds Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Is that a bobcat or a lynx? Never been fortunate enough to see either and I wouldn’t know the difference if I did. Very cool though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they mate late January into early February. 60 day gestation, born in late March early April) Not often they are out in the daytime, but a higher probability during mating season.

Never been fortunate enough to see either and I wouldn’t know the difference if I did. Very cool though. Bobcat. Lynx have bigger feet, longer back legs than front, and ear tufts are longer. Lynx and bobcat ranges do overlap Sault through and around Superior, but not in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think up in NWT and Yukon it is exclusively Lynx range... close cousins of the Bobcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense - some mountainous/rough country toward WVa. They are as far south as New Mexico apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
