Canadian Lynx look way bigger than American Bobcats—but they aren’t. Lynx have much larger feet—are much longer in the back legs and the hair is also much longer. I see houndsmen in Wisconsin and Minnesota with pictures of Bobcats over 40 lbs pretty regular. I was with some boys who weighed one in Cornocopia, Wisconsin that hit 43lbs.
Locally we don’t have many bobcat but lynx are numerous. I skinned one last winter I thought was the biggest I’ve handled. It stretched 51 inches from nose to tail on the board.—It weighed 27lbs and I’ve never seen one go over 30.
