This article in the Deseret News details efforts to determine if Utah has a resident population of lynx living in the back country.  It would be pretty cool to find some lynx here, but come to think of it, I don’t think I have ever actually seen a cat in the wild in all my time outdoors.  I must be too loud and clumsy or something, because it seems like by this point in my life I would have come across at least a bobcat by now.  Guess I need to keep my eyes even more peeled than I normally do.  Judging by the comments on the article, it sounds like a lot of people think they have seen lynx in Utah, but that seems highly unlikely.
