As anyone who knows me can attest, once I get interested in something, I very rarely stop until I have an answer. (Plus being off work until the little one comes tends to leave me with lots of spare time for trivia things... yay!)

To satisfy my own quest for knowledge, I sent that photo of a print to Shawn Johnson, who is the northern contact for the MN Trappers organization. Here is his reply:

Tamara,
Yup, I definitely recognize those tracks.
It was made by a Canada lynx.
Keep your eyes open and your camera handy.
They tend to stay in an area where there is a good food source- snowshoe hares or a road killed deer and aren't too shy of giving great photo opportunities.
Best of luck,
Shawn Johnson
