I was floundering in the back woods with my husband All over were these signs of predators like bears and other creatures to beware A carcass of an elk lied before us and while trying to tramp around it suddenly my husband cried out about a lynx that just appeared to the scene She was acting in a very hostile way making sure she would attack strangely it was barking like a dog I grabbed a stick and tried to scare her away what she eventually did We were safe
