KEEP MONTANA WILD
My first capture of a Canada Lynx on my trail camera. Plus a mountain lion that passed through the following day.
As a federally designated Threatened Species with numbers in Montana being possibly as low as 300 it is amazingly rare to encounter a lynx in person or on a trail camera. Montana has some of the last intact ecosystems on the planet and folks living or visiting here should value the importance of this and treat it with the respect it deserves.
