Late November (thought it was December but just looked at the date on my pics) I went out for a drive looking for some lynx or lion tracks. I located an area that had a ton of fresh lynx tracks from the night before. I texted my buddy as he was checking another area. He was on his way when he heard I had found a great spot.
About an hour later, he arrived and I loaded my gear in his truck. We headed up the road and were about 2 miles from the freshest track when we rounded a corner and saw a lynx eating a rabbit in the middle of the road! A quick conversation took place while the dogs started barking and the cat headed into the trees. We backed off and I grabbed my bow, thinking that maybe it would be worth seeing if I could get a shot without the chase and we'd go and run a different set of tracks later.
I snuck around some willows and caught the cat lurking amongst the trees. I was shocked the cat wasnt more spooked but I think it wanted to get back to its fresh kill. I placed a grim reaper behind the shoulder and it was over quick!
We ended up running another small lynx later that morning. The chase was quick but pretty cool to see it up in the tree as well. I'll post some pics of the treed lynx as well.
First kill for my Prodigy!
Scar.
