Long story short this cat was coming daily for my birds... he had it down to an art form rush the fence birds fly up and grab the first bird that landed on the wrong side of the fence.

I finally I got smart and brought a gun with me while working on the property and sure enough like clock work he showed up. I stepped out of the coop and there he was.




I figure the least I can do is mount the critter if I have to remove it.

 
Nice cat and mount!

Nasty neck wound it's got, should have been more careful with all those pointy chicken bones and all... Glad you dusted off the coop killer.
 
What a waste (unless mounting it was the real reason for shooting it). I have been trying to spot one of these on my property for three years now. Trail cams everywhere. No luck.

Next time you have one of these on your hand try live catch. I will take it off your hand and release it on my property.

No the reason for shooting it was to stop it from eating my chickens... I mounted it because I felt it was the right thing to do.

Kind of funny that you think it was a waste to kill it because it was killing the mans dinner, but to kill it for the purpose of mounting it (illegal), its ok? You also know that its illegal to trap lynx without a trappers licence, and its also illegal to transport it alive?

wow....

apparently protecting your lively hood is a waste but mounting is not?

you might have better luck seeing a lynx if yo know, didn't live in Toronto. I see them at least once every hunting season. even watched a mama go by with some kittens.

OP sweat mount, glad you didn't waste the pelt.

Is this post serious? Live catch a Lynx? Release it on your property? You know these are a furbearer and hundreds are (legally) trapped each year across Ontario for their fur? Nevermind the fact it was eating his property.
 
My comment was not meant to judge anybody, just my point of view. I personally don't kill, unless I eat it ..or it intends to eat me ..or it harms my property (yes!) or the environment. I kill Coyotes but not wolves..... While I respect the OP's decision, I personally would have tried to trap this animal, specially given the fact that he had a routine.

By the way, "my property" is a hunt camp, where half a dozen deer and moose are harvested every year by yours truly and friends. A tree hugging Toronto vegetarian?.....I think not. Just trying to differentiate between hunting and killing animals. Regards
 
We've got a few of them in my neighbourhood too. Been raiding the neighbour's chicken coop for three or four years, bypassing the dogs in the yard and the neighbour staying up nights with a gun. Got one of my guinea fowl too, without a peep (you know those things are NOISY) - very sneaky critters.

Really? You don't kill the worst scourge known to wildlife? Wolves are wanton killers and wasters and I've witnessed it with my own eyes. Seven moose kills in less than 10 days, in one valley with less than 20% of any kill eaten. I shoot every wolf I can get sights on any time of year including #####es with pups and the pups!!! I think there is a flaw in your reasoning. Oh and I am judgemental and opinionated, and right now my opinion is you REALLY need to educate yourself on wildlife and game management as well as the laws regarding depredation of livestock. Not only did the OP have right to shoot the chicken killer, he had an obligation to do so. This is not natural behavior and livestock preying predators NEED killing. What the OP described is learned behavior and will be passed on to offspring if not terminated or moved on to the neighbors once his chickens are all eaten. The fact he mounted it is nice but irrelevant to the real issue........livestock killing predators NEED killing.

[emphasis mine]

I think we might all have to look in the collective mirror to find the holder of that dubious honour. ;) (I'm speaking of humanity, in general, of course, and historically speaking. There is a segment of the population (and hunters generally rank highly among them) who are true conservationists).

Again, that is not to say that we shouldn't control populations of wolves. Now that we have begun managing game populations in North America, we have a duty to keep at it and to do it properly. But hatred directed against wolves (or any predator) for their actions in doing what they have done for many millennia would be flawed reasoning indeed.
