BTW, be on the look out for this guy

A farmer in northern B.C. who caught a lynx in his chicken coop on Sunday didn't react the way one might expect. He didn't grab a gun or yell at the wild animal.
Instead, Chris Paulson grabbed the lynx by the scruff of its neck, lifted it off the ground and scooped it from the coop.
Then he gave it a gentle scolding.
"He just looked ... a bit like [a kid] with its hand in the chocolate chip bag," Paulson told CBC News from his home near Decker Lake, west of Prince George.

Yeah, I thought it looked pretty young. However, the farmer really thought this was going to prevent the cat from killing chickens later?
I’m assuming he probably shot it when he was off camera...
One of the guys in my neighborhood did just that with a bobcat that was rabid when it attacked him...he broke its neck though.
My dad used to tell my brother and I when we about to get into something stupid that might be hard to get out of: "It is a lot easier to catch a bobcat than it is to let go of it." The visual picture of that always makes me laugh.

My daughter and I loved that movie.
This lynx was fed some sedatives and knock out drugs.
Neighbor said she saw bobcat tracks down in the gully near our property line. Same direction the coyote I saw was heading. All about a week before our cat vanished one night.
A Lynx pelt is worth about $75. Would have paid for the lost chickens and a door latch.
