Canadian Lynx or Bobcat?

The poll is over, and we just about came out even:

17 people voted
52% said Canadian Lynx (lynx canadensis)
47% said Bobcat (lynx rufus)

After the poll came down I had feedback from folks that they had changed their minds. They concluded that it was in fact a Bobcat. So if I had left the poll active it probably would have changed! Here's the original photo from Hana Struss if you'd like a closer look. 

I took some pictures of very fresh tracks by our mailbox early Saturday. The cat is still making the early morning rounds!

Thank you for settling the argument in our house (since I won!)
So glad to hear that our Bobcat is still hanging around here.
