LYNX OR NOT??

[jiggy 3,209]

Is it just me or is the door shut on that trap and the cat couldn't go in even if he wanted, spooked by camera or not.

Next dog I get I might seriously consider getting a cat at the same time. My mrs is a cat person, I'm not, but it's a ballache living next door to cats when you're dog ain't broke to them........especially when they are geriatric & little chance of escape! 

I'd love another dog mate but its just not possible at the moment nor would it be fair on the dog with us both working full time and some ...I've been showing the Mrs some teckels and she really likes em  so maybe when thing calm down in the not to distance future

I thought the same about the trap . Maybe it set it off by touching it outside or something

Looks like one of the traps I got! It is the closed end the bait is tied to the wire which you can just make out!

It's amazing all these cat groups will pay tens of thousands each for cameras and equipment for there own personal agenda because they want the glory to be the hero to prove the theory they exist but won't hear of or be willing to pay a penny in compensation to the farmers or keepers that shoot and bury these cats on the quiet. If a man is compensated for loss of earnings then he has no reason to want to exterminate the cats and they might help instead of hinder an investigation. It's amazing all the confirmed this and facts that are thrown about about 100% sightings but it's not a fact that if a man loses 10 percent of his flock then it could bankrupt him and he is accused of over exaggerating the value of his stock and murdering a protected species. Spend years proving cat marks on wild deer but deny they kill stock ??? It's a bit like telling the chicken farmer  to release pine martins from his cage traps because they only eat fruit and berries but shrug your shoulders when Tesco pay him 50p profit on each chicken he reared

The cat looks fat and in good health in photo how long was he escaped when picture was took.

I remember reading one of the shooting magazines of a guy that remained anonymous who had shot a "beast" as he called it and buried it! Not prepared for the controversy or publicity that would obviously come with it!

I think it was around a week or so Jiggy give or take a day or two!

An article two days ago said they are going to use a heat seeking drone in the search ?

[jiggy 3,209]

If I was part of a big cat group and had a big cat living nearby and it ate 1 sheep a month I would happily compensate for its presence. Would it be 100 pound a month.

I don't think they should reintroduce predators where there been wiped out.They were killed off as they had no place in our over human populated world.Why bring them back to suffer the same fate again,theres no place for them anymore.

Would yous fight a lynx ?

Depends how much I'd had to drink and how many were watching.  Chuck a few busty blondes in the crowd giving me the come on and I'd take on a bear

This is me in my youth trying to impress a couple of ladies who were fishing.

Haha.....feck me that made me laugh

[scothunter 12,609]

Prob kill a child or a frail person. Im sure a healthy adult could see it off. However you could be badly injured and if it got you in the right place could very well kill you.

For talking sake tho if these were reintroduced and decided to attack a human could you fight it off or could it kill a human ?

If it were cornered I think it would be a formidable opponent with the upper hand considering the claws and teeth at its disposal ?
