NR for dangerous game in Ontario

Lol. Grab a kitten by the neck and see what happens. I'm a trapper, and I have seen first hand what happens to people that piss off a lynx caught in a leg hold. A pissed off cat this size can and will kill a human. One slash to the throat and thats that. Realistically, a lynx is no threat to anyone in the bush. Usually quite docile and will sit watching you from as little as 10 yards when you are lucky enough to see one.

Only 20 lbs? Ya, 20 lbs of fury and razor blades. Not to mention each cut is a guarenteed infection. Leave them alone and they will not bother you. But don't assume their smll size size means no danger. I say lynx because there is a line north of Sudbury where you will no longer find bobcats, only lynx.

Out of curiosity how long are lynx claws? I see them from time to time with their huge paws. Always wondered. Ive had them walk passed me and ive driven up to them on the side of the road. No fear of a truck

About twice the size of a king sized tom housecat.

Lynx and bobbers are pretty quiet, shy critters. I imagine you would have to hit the google pretty hard to find a credible account of an unprovoked lynx attack, much less anyone ever having been intentionally killed by one.

Bobcats or fishers are about the only thing I worry about jumping on my back. I'm conscientious about bears too. But in my experience, the animals I mentioned turn and run anytime I've encountered them. My visits north are only once a year for a week or two though. (Caramat).
I feel good with a 12g. A mares leg in .44mag would be good too. But now I'm just fantasizing. Lol. I honestly don't overthink this or worry about it.

Thanks. I have no fear of them was just curious. I had one hang around bear camp once. Every morning it would walk the logging road below us.
