They've found a wild jaguar in New Mexico. See here:

Now all the black panthers in east Texas have a chance to be found.

Arizona not NM.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

That's the 3rd one they found in the US. It's the only one still alive right now.


It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

Only one they know about...They found this thing pretty north of the boarder, there are more in the southern Arizona area, especially around Douglas, where they've been caught before.

I think this jag made the news because there is decent video of it.
AZ F&G has always warned mountain lion hunters about them. Jaguars are hard on dogs.
A friend who is a caver and goes to real remote areas sent me a picture of a track about 10 years ago.

How hard is it to tell the difference between a mountain lion track and a jaguar track?

Jaguar tracks are wider with bigger pads.

I bet I could call one in. I've learned a few good cat calls, for bobcats anyway. Might get one in close enough for a shot before it sinks it's claws into the back of my head and rips out my throat. roflmao

I think that would be a tough one.

You have to be really careful about sounding too much like a crocodile when you're in arizona or one of them bad boys may just up and off you.

Jaguars are much larger than a mountain lion, they can go over 300 lbs, although the ones in AZ are usually young and not that big.
I believe it would be a very bad idea to try and call one in. I had a friend who worked at a big cat zoo, she said when cleaning enclosures they could , with proper precautions, go in with the lions, tigers, and leopards. Never with a jaguar, even those raised in captivity were zero tamed and would try and kill you.

Thanks cheers

In my untrained and inexperienced mind, it would be hard to tell. Truly curious if there was a distinction between them.
