| Age and sex of trapped lynx, _Felis canadensis_, related to period of capture and trapping technique | |
| 1985 Canadian Field-Naturalist (99): 267-269 | |
Several features of the age and sex structure of the harvest of Lynx, _Felis canadensis_, in Ontario are presented. Yearlings dominated in the harvest but declined over time although yearling males recurred in large numbers in February. Kits increased markedly in the harvest after December. Male Lynx may be more vulnerable to leghold traps than females. Results are attributed to age and sex-related differences in behaviour of Lynx. |
