The image is linked directly from gun owners of Canada website which you apparently need to sign in to see pictures so that is why it is not showing up.

Please upload the image here directly.

Thank you. That is a good explanation.

Gun owners of canada lets you post straight onto their site from your phone/computer. I thought that would be the simplest way to get the pic on the web to post here.
Back to the drawing board...

Or, everyone could just sign up on GOC, and there would be no issue.

Forget it.
Lets just say it's sasquatch, and call it a day.
Sorry to waste internet space with my ineptitude.

It's clear to me now. Bobcat i would say, but could be a lynx, given the size.

Lynx. A bobcat will have a shorter back leg.

Was this at Crimson Lake? I was camping there a couple weekends ago with family and someone saw a large-ish cat, sprang into the bushes before I could get a look but a Lynx or Bobcat would fit the rough description...

That's the place.
I came out on that weekend, but didn't see it myself.

I'm no expert, but I think the difference between them is that a lynx tail will have a black tip that circumnavigates the whole tail while a bobcat will not have the black tip, but rather a black top with a white undercarriage.....lol if that makes sense
