Recommended caliber for Lynx hunting?

[Rotorwash]

What do you guys that hunt Lynx use for a rifle?
Ive called out dozens over the years but never harvested one. I thought maybe a 22 wmr or 357. Afraid of destroying it but also not taking it quickly without undue suffering.

Thanks

22 WMR sounds about right to me.

17 hmr within 100 yards,

17gr vmax shot countless coyotes and fox, pin size hole going in usual no sewing needed and only ever had one exit

also have dispatched many lynx in traps with the .17 same results

22 wmr or 17 hmr, whichever you prefer/enjoy more.

375 H&H or 416 Rigby... they re quite tough for their size...

It is always best to use the most powerful gun in the armoury,,,,LOL....

Any 22 Long Rifle - 22 Mag 17 HMR etc are all powerfull enough for the little Cats ( Lynx-Bobcat ) there NOT hard to kill ! So what are you calling them in with Mechanical Machine or Mouth Call s ? RJ

I got a new 22 wmr if that's enough I will take it out. I used an elk mouth Reed that I use to make dying rabbit screams. Works really well. Occasionally a bear or cougar comes in though.

I had to dispatch a lynx in a snare once, all I had was my .223, I don’t recomend!! .22 or .17 would be ideal.
