Bushranger, Haven't seen the video on the Snow Leopard research video, very cool animals though, very rare as well. I'll look it up later. Cats (the loner types) are difficult in the best conditions to see or get on cam. The most results come from cams that are well hidden and point across game trails in remote areas. Researcher's call'em camera traps for a reason. (remote meaning: as few people as possible, no motorized traffic within at least a couple of miles.) A major exception is some places in California and near Tucson.

We have some Lynx here as well but have only seen one in four years. It was brutual getting to the area where it was (&*#@ SNOW). In contrast, I normally see a Mt Lion at least once a year. Best place to find them is at 5000ft or higher with deep snow and cover (at least in CONUS). They mostly only eat snowshoes so look for bunny tracks as well. Important point, they (the Lynx) are known to regulate their numbers based on the snowshoe population. So the more bunny's the better chances.

Would love to see that one...

Still enjoy seeing good ones of fox like you took. Seems pretty relaxed just sniffin' around, those are the best!

take care
