Those pictures are simply amazing!! You captured some great animals there. I didn't realize there was that many there, no wonder why the area is pretty much void of any ungulate population.

The images & videos I posted, might make it appear that way, but with the exception of the solo black wolf, those image & video captures are of the same wolves. 5 to 6 wolves in that pack plus the wandering black wolf, who, up until a couple of weeks ago, does not appear to have been accepted into the pack.
I was out yesterday
and saw a small herd of about 15 cow elk not far from here. See deer all the time.
Anyway, I've actually grown kinda bored with these wolves. Will probably go seek out a neighboring pack or look for evidence of a new pack. I've already found some sign. It's been alot of fun.
Also, still need to go find a wolverine.

If that were true, the wolves wouldn't be there.

I happen to know that area very well and the ungulates population is 10% of what is was 10 years ago. As you know then wolves don't need ungulates to survive.

Set the camera up on the remains of a wild turkey. Snowed quite a bit and the carcass became buried . Cat has a good sense of smell

Great videos. I'm surprised a the bobcat's movements seem so cautious -- always looking around. I'd expect a predator to be more bold, not act like a deer.

I suspect in this area, whether or not the bobcat is predator or prey depends on what else is in the neighborhood.
Ditto the great videos!

Fair question. So I got interested:
Lynx v bobcat
The first video shows distinct bands (markings) on legs and what looks like a white undertail at the tip, which would incline toward bobcat. (I viewed the YouTube videos full screen to try to discern tail coloration.)
The lynx's notably longer back legs than front would bring the top of its pelvis almost horizontal with top of skull, when not creeping around in snow.
Other thoughts on ID?
Whichever cat, they are really nice videos, Bootpathguy!
