Would you lecture a lynx?

[Red Bullets]

This guy has a novel way of responding to losing his chickens. He even gave the lynx the 2 chickens it killed.

(Have the volume on)

Thinking its somebodies pet.

[Hawkeye]

If that thing had gone ballistic and twisted around in his hands, he would have been in serious trouble!

[Lornce]

He would make a nice hat if It was my chickens.

[EZM]

It seems strange to me a wild healthy Lynx wouldn't have clawed/bitten the heck out of this guys face, arms and whatever was in reach ......

Lynx are docile - Bobcats are not.

Was going to raise Lynx at one time...

[Sooner]

Nice low growl and angry cat face. Cool vid, wonder if he caught it in a trap first. Hope the SJW's don't try to destroy him for holding the cat like any mother cat would.

Here's longer article on it.

Says the cat was extremely skinny, so maybe too hungry to fight back.

Now that the cat has found easy food, it will likely be back.

[Stinky Buffalo]

Now that the cat has found easy food, it will likely be back.

My thoughts too...

I would have renamed the Lynx "Mittens", but that's just me. :dork:

Or in the article it says if you grab the scruff of most cats it simulates their mom scolding them and they go limp.... I'm no cat expert but maybe that has something to do with it?
I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try it though.

[Sundog57]

As ever with the correct CBC - after they ran the story they had to say "picking up a wild animal by the scruff of the neck is not recommended"
Just heard on the news that they are now running a whole news item about why this is not a good idea.
I am almost rendered speechless - if you knew me you would know what an accomplishment this is for the CBC LOL
I guess they need to do that for the cuddly grizzly bear set

And with those long Link legs-my thoughts exactly, had to be something wrong with that particular cat.

Yup ☝

Anyone who lives in the bush, and doesn't make their chicken coops 'Predator Proof', are Always going to have these problems.

Sadly, some people never learn.

Totally believable. Lynx are a weird animal. Can be quite care free.
Was parked on a cut line sitting in my running truck, when one walked out and passed the front of my truck 10 feet away. Not a care in the world.

Lol you obviously haven’t trapped any

[KegRiver]

Exactly. I watched what appeared to be a docile Lynx tear the crotch out of the old mans jeans with one swipe of it's paw.
He said later that he though the Lynx was dead. Well it proved to be very much alive.

It was amazing to see him standing on the tips of his toes with a Deer in the headlights look. Funniest thing I ever saw.

I've taken more the a few Lynx out of traps. I have yet to see one that did not go ballistic when you get close.
Sure, at first they just lean back and snarl, but when you get within reach they go from not moving to a blur of movement in less then one blink of an eye.

[KegRiver]

A neighbor had a Wolverine try to kill a Lynx he had trapped.

It did succeed but it apparently had no appetite when it finished.

He said there was a three foot circle around the trap that was packed down hard and covered with Wolverine and Lynx hair.
The trail of the Wolverine as it left was lined with drops of blood and clumps of hair.

I wouldn't take on anything that could do that to a Wolverine.

Hahaha. Very well done.

I actually think it's pretty good advice and speak from personal experience. That time a few years ago, when I picked up a 45" bull moose by the scruff of the neck, and held him up to see where I'd hit him was almost the death of me. Took a few in the junk but thanks to my superb conditioning and the hockey can i always wear when hunting, I was able to gain upper positioning and choke him out.

Rear naked choke works almost everytime on a full grown bull!

As long as you secure a body triangle first to lock onto him, I found sometimes moose try and shake me off.

I did learn, however, trying a Kamura on his front leg is a really bad idea.

The trick is to soften him up by raining down hammer fists before attempting the lift.

Little fellow looks kind of messed up. Dazed or something.

Sad to see an animal in this situation.
