Chase of the Canadian Lynx and Snowshoe Hare
#311890 - 08/02/18 02:53 AM

Cool video..

looked this up as someone local posted a video of a family of Lynx on FB recently..I was fortunate enough to actually see one in the wild last spring..seeing wild cats is an awesome experience and does not happen very often... at least for me...have seen bobcats a lot..but lynx or mtn. lion..very seldom..

Fantastic.

We have bobcat and cougar here.
From time to time when out with the kids we find tracks of a good chase, often with the signs of the snacking at the end

It's rare to actually see the cats though.

Cheers

Saw a lynx (20 yards distance) last fall when out for a drive through what used to be moose country. Used to be, but they & the elk are few and far between now, with the wolf population buildup.

Very nice!

Several years ago I was hunting elk up high on the mountain in late November. Lots of snow and was a dark cloudy day. I saw no fresh tracks and by late afternoon I was headed down the trail trying to get back to the truck before dark.

I saw a snowshoe rabbit coming my way up the trail. I stopped and he literally ran over my boots on his way by. I was wondering what would cause such unusual behavior when I spotted his pursuer. A Pine Martin was coming up the trail right in his tracks. If I hadn't scared him reaching for my camera he might have ran over my boots too. I always wondered how that Pine Martin could catch a rabbit but he obviously thought he could.

I am always amazed at the strength and power those cats have along with the size of game they can bring down..not that a pine martin is a cat, but ..

Have a good friend down by Yellowstone..lives along the park boundary..he as seen bobcats take down whitetail doe's..or how easily a mountain lion can take down an elk..incredibly efficient
