Jaguar bayup

I saw these pics on the internet and thought people might enjoy them. Apparently these pictures were taken by Warner Glenn in Arizona in 1996. Dumped his hounds on what he thought was a cougar track. MAN WHAT A SURPRISE!!!!!

I've seen those pictures, awesome. I know the email with the pictures said Warner Glenn took them, but I have read his book "Eyes of Fire" which accounts for the experience he had with a jaguar and these pictures are not included in the book.
My thinking is these are taken by someone else, but no matter, very cool nonetheless.

The jag in the book was a different one caught about 10 yrs prior to this one in about the same area, both by Warner Glenn.

[huntinlass]

ok, so this is a pretty current picture from Warner?

[DerekE]

I think it's from 2006, not positive.

They just collard one the other day here just south of Tucson, back in 96 Jack Childs treed one a little south and west of Tucson. It does'nt supprise me one bit that they're still in this neck of the woods....http://www.azfamily.com/news/homepagetopstory/stories/phoenix-local-news-021909-jaguar-tagged.31bd2470.html...Terry Lambeth

Yes this is Warner's last published jaguar encounter, and this was in New Mexico.This was a decent desert tom jaguar but small by South American standards where large males in the Patanal Swamps of Bolivia and occasionaly the Matto Grosso of Brazil will turn up huge specimans of 260 pounds or more.

The recent small tom collared in Arizona was a young healthy sub just out on his own and deciding to take a trip up north. I beleived he weighed 118 pounds. It will be interesting to see by GPS wher he goes. A few days after the capture he had not traveled further than 3 miles.

Jack Childs who was mentioned and heads up the Border Lands Jaguar Study is a fine man great hunter, and conservationist. He was also a close friend of the legendary Dale Lee. Jack use to come by my house on occasion when he was in my neighborhood on a mule buying expidetion. We had some fun visits.

Mike do you know how this recent jag was captured? I am just wonderin if it was treed or snared.

The latest jag was snared.

Thanks

[Mike Leonard]

Snared that is interesting, they must have had trail cam photos knowing the cat was in there and possibly on a kill. Maybe that explains why it has not moved very far yet from the capture area.

Generally they don't broadcast the capture methods.

[chilcotin hillbilly]

As far as I know Mike they were targeting cougar at the time of the capture, and did not know it was in the area.

they had no idea the jaguar was in the area.
