I think someone needs to fix the date on his trailcam.






And the cat looks like a lynx.

Do you need some kind of tag to hunt lynx?

Fur-bearing mammal, I would assume it's either a no-go, or requires a tag.

Have to be a trapper.

In Newfoundland & Labrador, you need a trappers' license, and you can either trap or shoot.

The only fur-bearers you can shoot in NL are foxes and coyotes.

Looks like a Lynx. There is a hunting season in B.C. for them.

Check page 38 of your Hunting & Trapping Guide.

Huntable in BC, do not have to have to be a trapper, or have the trapping area.

But don't Lynx have tufts of hair protruding from the tops of thier ears?
What is the difference between a lynx and bobcat? The photo was taken last week in the Eastern Townships of Quebec....

Good to know! However, I do not see any mention of shooting regulations for Labrador, it just says Newfoundland.

Yeah, the Guide isn't very helpful in that regard. Generally speaking, the regulations are much looser in Labrador, and this is no different when it comes to lynx. Section 14(4)(a) of the Wild Life Act (which overrules the Guide in any case) states:

the hunting, taking and killing of furbearing animals by means of firearms is permitted in the Labrador portion of the province

Re lynx, you have to watch the zones and open seasons too, especially on the island. We had no open season here last year.

Lynx taste good and the fur is really soft.

Yeah, my grandfather used to use a 30-30, and my other grandfather had a .222 for trapping.
