All kinds of lynx along the Yukon. I have a big male that walks the perimeter of my garden about 11:30 every night. I have a pit covered with ply board, store salmon eggs in buckets for nx years bear bait. Drives this lynx nuts cause he can't get at it. This lynx ain't even scared of my dog anymore. My neighbor hangs a chunk of salmon on his porch and this lynx pulls it down and eats it right there on the porch as neighbor watches 6 foot away through sliding glass doors.

Actually lynx numbers vary from year to year with upswings of snowshoe numbers and they migrate hundreds of miles too. I like seeing them so nobody traps them out my trail. Go after the wolves, leave the lynx alone.

Many of the locals eat lynx, somewhat of a delicacy.

I lived along the Yukon for decades (not in Alaska) & I also liked seeing lynx. I once knew a couple who raised lynx for lynx recovery projects in the US. She kept them in very large pens, and fed them live rabbits, so that they would have some hunting instincts, when released into the wilds of Maine (or wherever).
