The photographed lynx at plot 2 did not leave a hair sample. The wildlife camera images suggest that it
appeared to be more interested in the pie plate and the scent lure that the carpet pad affixed to it was
giving off. Sampling in this area should continue to acquire hair samples for DNA analysis. I would
suggest setting up stations in the southern part of the Monashee mountain range along the old cascade
highway, approximately 1.5 km north of the Canada-USA boundary, spanning a 30 km uninhabited region
between Christina Lake and the Paterson border crossing. Lynx in this area will offer more important
insights into the trans-boundary migration patterns of this species.
