Just got back from an elk hunting trip (sans elk) and figured I would put up some links to videos we took. The first was of a lynx that we spotted on the side of the road at 5:30 am as we were driving to where we were planning to start our walk in. Not the best quality video as the camera had issues focusing at times.

The second video is of a big black bear. I'm not a bear hunter (although I carry a tag for problem bears in camp) but this guy seemed big to me. His rear end shakes as he walks and he was just beefy. We saw younger bears earlier in the day but this guy dwarfed them. Any estimates on his size from those of you that hunt bears?

Hope the video links work okay.

Very cool to see the lynx, and that bear is hog fat! Thanks for posting.

Very cool that you saw that lynx, a rare event.
