The only way to tell if it was a Canada Lynx or a Bobcat is to shoot it and then perform a necropcy.

From the jailhouse?

[Bailey Guns]

It did make a funny kind of noise...like, "meow, eh."

[ChickNorris]

When it swatted in the brush... did you hear it say 'take off you hoser'...?

[Bailey Guns]

The only other thing it said was, "Hey...you tried to bite me. What's that all aboot?"

From the jailhouse?

Yes. Just in case anyone doesn't already know, killing a Canada Lynx is illegal.

Too cool. I've recently started hiking here in Colorado, and I'd like to see a predator bigger than a fox. Cat like. Or Bear like.

If a moose is a predator I can help you out.

Or a Moose! lol. Would love/will love to encounter a moose in the wild. Too cool!

It took me a long time to see a moose in the wild. Not because they are difficult to find, but because I'm a bad native and hadn't spent enough time out in the woods. Now that I know where to look (from people on here telling me exactly where to go), it seems a wonder I ever missed them.

Have you been out in the wilderness with coyotes howling all around you yet? It's different when you're in a tent or on a mountain side, even though it sounds the same as when you're in a neighborhood.

I’ve seen everything but lynx and mtn lion. My last bobcat experience was last fall while archery deer hunting, scared one out of a pile of brush just 10 feet away from me.

Drive Independence Pass out of Aspen in the evening or hang out in Steamboat for a day or two and you are pretty much guaranteed to see a bear. Moose are pretty regular sightings along Peak to Peak highway and if you dont see one on Cameron Pass down in to Walden you have issues with your eyes.
