The tags are small tags in both ears that say corplus on them. The only info I've found about them is an old trapperman post by wolverine bait. Does anyone have any additional info about the tags or how to find out where it came from?

apparently some people were curious about the sensitivity of the lynx's ears and are doing studies on them. They don't have much on them on the web but that is what I can find by searching it up on the web. You may need to reach out to multiple science entities to find out more about it.

I would like to point out that I'm in Alaska .

Congrats! I'd check with Alaska Fish and Game and see if they have any info on the tags. If that dont pan out then I'd start reaching out to Fish and Game in Cananda.

What HFT said.

Not sure what part of the state you're in but here is one option......

There is also an Anchorage lynx project going on but they don't tag both ears and the tags have numbers.

That’s cool. A few thousand lynx later and I’ve yet to see a tagged one. Got them with missing ears and blind in one eye a few times but never a tagged one

Picture!

I think Chickenminer had a post about a Lynx tagging program. I think I remember a bunch of them Lynx ending up in Canada south east of me.

I will post pics but someone needs to coach me how.

When you look at the reply section click on the square with 2 little houses. when you put your curser over it it should say upload inline images. from there it will take you to another screen just follow the directions.

ADFG is your friend in this case. Even if they did not do the tagging, they will be aware of who is tagging cats.

I brought them a tag and collar from a wolf one year. It was not their tag/collar, but after a few days they determined that the wolf had been tagged by the Canadian government in the NWT! It was pretty cool to know how far that wolf had come just to "visit Alaska" and eat some of our game!

The old “he went to visit and never came back” story

I have never harvested an animal with a tag or collar but sure enjoy hearing where all they have traveled when others harvest them and find the info out. Friend shot a collared grizzly near Eureka one spring and fish and game shared all the info they had including pictures they took of it in its den that winter.

Here are the tags

I think Corplus is just the manufacturer of the tags. Could there be chips in the tags ??

There is a band on the orange one that may contain data I guess. Other than that they are all plastic.

two tags are sometimes used with camera traps to identify individuals, or if there is a fear of one being rejected. they should have a serial number. I would remove them carefully so the number is still readable. either drill through button, or cut them at the hinge.

Big Finn, where are you at in the U P?

I'm here in alaska I moved from Skandia near Marquette mi
