Name that cat

Dad saw a lynx in this area about five years ago… so don’t rule it out… is this a lynx? a bobcat?

This is the first time we have had a cat on any of the trail cameras… and luckily enough, the deer did not disappear because of it.  Can you please let me know what cat this is?  Thanks!

    It is hard to tell because picture quality is not that good. If I had to guess I would say Lynz

      I posted this on Facebook too and the majority of people said Lynx as well!

    Congrats on getting the Lynx on camera. I've been trying to get a Bobcat for years with no luck.
