One has had the good fortune to have his dogs bay up two over the years--both big males. His photos are pretty impressive.


Were those guys intentionally baying jaguars, or were the jaguars unintentionally bayed as they were hunting mountain lions?

They were hunting mountain lions in all three instances. They had no idea that they had a jaguar until they caught up with the dogs. Good stories, but I won't relate them here.

Google Warner Glenn's book, "Eyes of Fire," and Jack and Anna Mary Childs' book, "Ambushed on the Jaguar Trail".
