Lynx are very rare in the lower 48. Montana by far boasts the largest and healthiest population, but even so, estimates are only around 300 animals. The last 2 years I've focused a majority of my winter efforts on capturing these elusive carnivores with camera traps. After much research, and countless miles of scouting on skis, everything finally came together for me when I captured this young Lynx passing by one of my cameras under the cover of darkness.
