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.
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.

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.
