We named him "Bob"

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.

Interesting... Any reason for the cat to be there?

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. (She can't get any sleep)

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.

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.

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.

Cool. I think up in NWT and Yukon it is exclusively Lynx range... close cousins of the Bobcat
