There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I just Purchased "Big Game Hunting Around the World" by Bert Klineburger and Vernon W. Hurst, I also Purchased Almeidas book as well but Bert's book definitely caught my eye first.
I'll update once I get through it, any one here read it yet?

Edit:
I'll just update as I make my way through it, that way the info is fresh.

Jaguars-
-The Jaguars he took in this book were from a very remote swampland near Caceres near the Bolivian Border of the Mato Grosso area of Brazil. 
-He says this area "is as wild an area as can be seen anywhere" and makes it sound like very few every want to try the Jungles of South America again after they have their first taste. 
-It was very hard for Dogs to track the Large males here, the dense swamp forces them to lose the scent and it also allows the Jags to chose their "Battle Ground"
-One of the hunts there was recorded, he spoke of the Jaguar forcing the dogs to come after him, never seemingly running just moving along and picking off dogs as they came. After he had found a suitable "Battle Ground" he would retreat no further and wanted to fight any and all comers.
-His Jaguars he took average 250lbs for Males and 160lbs for Females
-One large Jaguar they tracked, shot with a 30-30 Carbine, escaped and was never found even with the dogs. This Large Jag was stated to have "tracks so large that they reminded Bert of an African Lioness. 
-The one I spoke about earlier that forced the fight to the battle ground was estimated to weigh "at upwards of 300lbs" and he was taken at the Rio De Apure which is in Venezuela I believe.
