Simple Hunter Report post Posted February 20, 2009 Here's the link to the story... http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/280970.php I am very worried what the enviro extremists will do with this - ban hunting in jaguar areas? stop the border fence? I don't see very much difference in a visiting jaguar than I do in a visiting pelican. Pelicans errantly fly into southern Arizona all the time but this is not their habitat. Jaguars probably do not prefer this habitat but occasion to find it when on the perimeter of their habitat. I say build the fence and keep these illegal jaguars out.

stanley Report post Posted February 20, 2009 I think it's pretty cool to! I hunt a bit in some of the areas where they are said to sometimes exist, and I think it's cool to know that they might be creeping around out there..... S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted February 20, 2009 What a great opportunity to learn more about these cats that are very seldom seen in the US. Maybe his travels will lead to others, like a mate, being found. Warner Glenn must be downright ecstatic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe his travels will lead to others, like a mate, being found. Warner Glenn must be downright ecstatic. I hope you all catch my drift...I certainly have no disdain for Jaguars, I just simply hate the way enviro wackos use endangered species as leverage to enforce their policies on those of us who have been using the land forever. I only envision massive lawsuits being filed by SWC Biological Diversity and Defenders of Wildlife to close off the land to hunting as a Jaguar preserve. There are several wildlife refuges already along the border - how many more do we need? Buenos Aires and Cabeza Prieta? I just don't trust the present administration, especially the Department of Interior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IHunt2live Report post Posted February 20, 2009 To cool! Thats the project that I'm a part of during the summers but I'm to bussy during the school year to help out with the lion stuff. I'm glad they got a collar on one. Better to have concret data then know they are in the area and wonder what the heck they do. I saw let them come back to make up for the mistake of removing them in the first place. Are they realy going to build a fence that keeps aniamls from crossing in areas were the jaguars are most likely to cross? I don't think they are. but I could be wrong.

I just don't trust the present administration, especially the Department of Interior. I think a lot of us share your feeling on that topic. Theres been a few situations lately that may set a president agianst what some wackos want to do. A few cases, such as the lesser prairie chicken, were proposed to be federaly listed as endagered but was not because its only a subspecies and the greater prairie chicken is doing alright. Spotted owls to I think, some owl, used to be found, maybe still is in low numbers, was going through the same proses of being protected but was not because there are more then enough in mexico so to protect them in the extrems of their enviroment was determined not plausable. Not saying that some enviromental groups can't get what they want, they have a lot of money, but thanks to projects like this science has a lot more say in these situations.

COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 20, 2009 AZP&Y, I too savor those pics, these animals are simply amazing! The one I saw in MX was darker in appearance than the one in Warner Glenn's photo, kinda like the collared Jag. Probably too because mine was at longer distance it appeared darker. I recently read that there are estimated between 8,000-10,000 Jaguars in existence, we just have a few stragglers up this far, most are way south but there's definitely more out there than I thought!
