Hunted a place east of Melville years ago, the ranch hand killed some dandy stubbies, silver almost like a lynx... like to kill one someday. Ours are real orange
Like these?
Two different cats, both old Toms, from the same set, seven days apart. This was back in the mid eighties.
Crappy pics of pics....
Man O Man.....those are dandy's. The Cats in this part of ID are pretty nice but they'll never fetch the kind of money MT or Great Basin cats fetch regardless of the market. The most I've got was $750 for a 42" XL with a pretty good belly. That was 4-5 years ago when upper end cats were fetching $1000+ on a pretty regular basis.
Those cats you posted pics of look really nice. Cats from the south, and southeastern part of the US don't even resemble the species....;)
