First hunt this year is tagged out. 6 lynx in 4 days. What a monster we killed for Leland Reinier from Big Cat Taxidermy. You know this will be a world class mount when he is done with it.

what would something like that weigh

Were all those lynx taken with gun or bow? How far was the normal shot? Were they all treed or did some just bay up?
Any problems bringing the hides back into the US?
Thanks

A huge tom such as this one would go 27-30 pounds. Most shots are 15 to 20 yards and both bows and 22 LR are the weapons of choice.
Here is another cranker tom with one happy hunter

NO problem bring them in to the US. We arrange the cities permit before you come.

A couple from this week. A few days to try and find a big cat.

another one that took the dogs 20 miles and treed 400 yards from where we were standing.
From: GF

As my dad always said... Holy cats!
What's the weight on the lion?
Beautiful cats, but a little steep for my reality. Can't be cheap to raise & train dogs that can do that kind of work!!
Definitely the first guy I'll call though, if I ever run across any Sasquatch tracks.

A marathon walk in on Super Bowl Sunday was well worth the walk with a jumbo tom lynx treed. We did make it back home in time to see the last half.

Closed out the lynx season 12 for 12 again. We killed this last tom in rainy conditions but the dogs dug deep and pulled it off.
One of my pups Tip made it truck to tree and had a great rest on my backpack when I showed up.

caught one more great cat while looking for cougar. Without a tag we let him walk. Great looking cat though.

How high up is that cat? Looks like a guy could get a great bow shot on that lynx.
From: skinner creek
13-Feb-16
that last cat was about 15 feet above my head. If you plan on hunting lynx know where your bow shoots at 3 yards out to 15 yards. That is the biggest reason for piss poor shooting. Most bow kills are on the rough side because hunters don't know quite where to aim on close and steep shots. the target is really only about 2 inches.
