I worked on a huge 35,000 sq. ft house . Owner was regular guy that had built a huge mega million biz but was still a regular guy. Back in 70s or 80s his BIL asked to borrow 100K. BIL wanted to tell him why but Al said I do not want to know. al gave him the money. BIL was the guy that hired the people to do the fake Bigfoot picture that this elvis one mimics. One of the best people I worked with.
Did the guy make his money back on the fake Bigfoot picture?

BIL made plenty on fake video. Al did not find out truth until the world did. No he did not get his money back. He did not care, he was really helping his sister.

Someone elsewhere pointed out that last lion had lots of scars. Look at shoulder and ribcage. Previous pic less than 2 weeks earlier is unscathed.
Must have been quite a battle or 2?

A ton of deer and rabbits on son's camera. 1 bobcat.

been reading up on the cats. Male lion territory is 50-150 square miles- wow. 2 in same spot in 2 weeks. We have lots of bobcats in washington. also says we are one of 3 states with Lynx. Montana and Maine. Hard to believe they are not in Idaho panhandle. My guess is author of article does not have a map.. also I guess there are pictures of a Lynx and a wolf fighting. Both full grown, wolf got thrown on back and gutted. also Article about full grown lynx taking down a full grown mule deer. pretty bad A$$ cats if this is true.

Ps. Date is not right. Pics are last 7 days. Obviously we have not mastered the date part.

Make it 4; Colorado has reintroduced Lynx. Not sure when, maybe 15 years ago. Regular spotting of them in certain areas; mainly southwest part of the state in the San Juans.

My guess is they are in Idaho and Wyoming also. Our property is in the selkirk Mts. north Idaho is just to east. No way they are not in N. Idaho.

NE Wa. N. Idaho and NW Mt. probably has some of the wildest non park or wilderness area in lower 48. My uncle operated skidder, loader and logging trucks in N. Idaho. The fed and state decided best people to report on Woodland Caribou would be loggers. They know the woods and are in the wildest spots. There was one basic flaw to their thinking. The loggers did see the caribou. and found sheds. Uncle told me the Caribou would dine on the lichen moss and other stuff exposed by logging. They got used to loggers presence fast. They reported them as asked. The feds and state would shut down logging operations once the the Caribou were reported. Now the loggers started not "seeing" caribou nor found any sheds. Government decided loggers had pretty much chased them back to Canada. My uncle- everyone had got better at burying sheds and seeing nothing.
Now we have the wolves, which if you read are great for the environment. In the deep snow wolves stay on top and caribou bog down, definitely not good for caribou recovery. Now in Canada, in the Caribou recovery area, wolves are fair game, in fact pursued. Canada was sending Caribou to us to strengthen our Selkirk herd. But since we will not keep wolves away from them no more caribou for us....

The centuries, they do run together, don't they?

(You knew I wouldn't let this pass!)

The yotes are much better hunters than we are.
Leaf and large needle drop is way late this year. Visibility is poor at best.

Neighbor traps . Our state has outlawed leg traps so he uses live trap. Has video of bobcat in trap being harassed by a wolf. Pretty cool.
