CamoManJThat was so cool...
At the lodge where I hunt in Mexico has a stuffed jaguar from many years ago that was killed near Nuevo Laredo, they are out there. On my next trip this week, I will bring a camera that actually functions properly + a video recorder.

swampshooterAn amazing animal. They are closer to our southern border than most people realize. The Mexican mountains have a moderate population of jaguars, they still wonder across our southern borders from time to time.

billrquimbyA jaguar was photographed in November by two different trail cameras set by our game department and by a hunter in the Santa Rita Mountains, about thirty miles south of Tucson.
Several other jaguars have been treed (and released) by mountain lion hunters in other mountain ranges in southern Arizona over the past few years.
They apparently are not permanent residents, though.
In historic times,they ranged as far north as Grand Canyon and what now is the Navajo reservation in Arizona.

CarolinasmanPretty amazing footage. I imagine the "pucker factor" was a bit high for those dudes on the boat closest to the cat. I've been in a small boat with a little pissed off muscrat and that was tense enough for me.....

I would love to think that these great beasts could reclaim their ancestral range in the USA, or at least some of it.
Damn, but I would love to hunt one!
But cats can be very fragile, as witness the tiger, and the jaguar, and increasingly, the lion.
NOT a sport hunter caused problem, by the way.
Love to see them as nature made them, in their natural habitat, and killing as is their wont.

RobinOLocksleyGreat video. The way it camouflaged itself by rolling in mud to look like one of them was just brilliant.
