What colour was the meat-white like lynx or dark like bobcat. Very light. When I skinned it I looked at the carcass and understood why people would want to eat it. It looked good! Cold as ice!

Every time I looked at it I would change my mind and kept going back and forth. When I got home I looked at it closer and think it’s a cross between the two. Hybrid. The paws and tail are what I clued into. No pads showing on the paws and the tail looks exactly the same as a hybrid shows that I found on google. The paws are smaller than Lynx I’ve caught before, but larger than bobcat. Cold as ice!

That being said, I see a lot of bobcat traits too so the hybrid theory might explain everything. ï¿½Whatï¿½s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.ï¿½ Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

When I spot a bigger track, I know it's likely a big tom trying to "serve" as many as he can about this time of yr. ï¿½Whatï¿½s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.ï¿½ Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers
