A Minnesota tale:
A law awaiting Gov. Tim Pawlenty's signature reads:
"A person may use a snare to take lynx or bobcat, as prescribed by the commissioner, without a permit."
But if you're thinking about heading out to snare a lynx coat for the missus this year, hold on.
"It's a confusing bill," acknowledged Ed Boggess, a fish and wildlife policy executive with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, who confirmed that the small wildcat remains protected by state and federal regulations. "It doesn't allow the snaring of lynx."
