AZ8 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Just saw this story on azcentral. Is this the same jaguar you've capture on your trailcams? I've compared specific rosette markings on both, and it appears its the same jaguar. http://www.azfamily.com/home/Photos-show-male-jaguar-roams-in-Ariz-mountains-213423641.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZLance Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Yes, after Game and Fish & USFWS gave out the general location, everybody and there brother are now hunting for him with their trail cameras. I personally know of 6 different hunters with pictures of him. All but one of those hunters have declined to share them with G&F. I now have over 40 different pictures of him. Game and Fish likes to claim that these cats are roaming males just cruising north of the border looking for mates. But this Jaguar seems to debunk their junk science, as he has been constantly here for at least two years now. This is his home turf, and he has a pattern of how he moves thru this mountain range. I have basically got his picture twice a month now for almost two years. What a magnificent cat he is! I just fear that G&F and USFWS have issued his death sentence by giving out too much information on his location. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ8 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Ok, thanks for the update. Too bad about the location info sharing. Yes, he's an amazing animal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesBuckhunter Report post Posted June 28, 2013 So far it is just that one tom. And he has been spotted quite a bit in the Rosemont area from what I have heard...I doubt it will shut the mine down. Lance, I think addicted is an understatement. lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I have no doubt that you are 100% right about the "C" Spot tom and his range. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twigsnapper Report post Posted June 28, 2013 It's posted on Yahoo now. Just read it. The last sentence of the article....."Federal wildlife officials are considering whether to designate more than 1,300 square miles in New Mexico and Arizona as a critical habitat for the jaguar." Hang on boys, we are headed for a ride!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpinebullwinkle Report post Posted June 29, 2013 If the Rosemont mine becomes like the Morenci Mine as far as wildlife in the surrounding area then all the wacko left wing opponents of this proposed mine should welcome the new mining activity. Morenci has the best sheep herd in the state which is utilized by AGFD to transfer the sheep to "less desirable habitat" around the state. What the wacko "environmentalists" seem to be naive about is the mining districts provide excelllent habitat for deer, sheep and other wildlife since they have less predators to wipe out those endangered species! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
