If you haven't already read them, I urge you to read Diane Alden's excellent articles on the lynx issue. In fact after doing 2 articles she has discovered the conspiracy is so huge in scope that she is writing a book on GAG coverups in the guise of federal science. You can read the articles at: Missing Lynx Part 1 (http://www.off-road.com/land/missing_lynx_part1.html) and Missing Lynx Part 2 (http://www.off-road.com/land/missing_lynx_part2.html) .
