Alaska Land of the Midnight Sun
About 8:30 this evening I was in my loading room and Biscuit started barking big time. Must have a squirrel tree'd for sure. Got my 22 and went out around to the backside and her hair was up big time. At that point I realized that her barking had been more intense. When I got there and looked through the scope, I saw yellowish brown and some movement about 35 feet up a spruce. Just thought it was our cat. Brainless wonder. Went back to the house to tell Karyn that Felix was way up a tree. But Felix was snoozing on the back of the couch. Grabbed my binoculars and went back fast because Biscuit had a stray tree'd.
Stood back and put the binoculars up and there was a feline face with pointy ears on one side of the trunk and a butt and legs on the other. Called Biscuit right over as she was under the tree and the Lynx was staring down at Biscuit. Very fortunate that the Lynx went up the tree rather then through my dog. It appeared to be a young cat about 25 to 30 pounds or so. Big enough to have Biscuit for dinner.
Not the best picture, but you can see the ears and face left of the trunk.
