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!

      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.

I just have a feeling that this year will be my year and I will be bagging one of these birds. We moved our blind to a new spot this year and I am hopeful that it will put us closer to the birds than we have seen.  Dad, Hubby and I set it up and put a trail...
