I wish they had some duck hunting I would get my a$$ down there this winter when I am home.

What article are you guys referring to about Mexico? I am assuming it is drug war related?

I am taking it you are joking, right?

That is pretty cool. I had no idea jaguars were that close to the border. I remember learning that they were once native here. A couple of time coming back from Lake Corpus Christi after dark as a kid, we saw a huge black cat. Yes, it was a black panther, that is a black jaguar. Once, we almost hit one in the road. The cat froze in the headlights and we came a screetching stop about 4 foot from it. Its back was as high as the hood of that old Crown Vic. It looked right in the car. I have seen cougars at night in a car before, and this was no cougar. Beautiful animal. I know that most of that is still ranch land and brush, and I hope that they are still surviving out there.

This was between Orange Grove and Pernitas Point. My grandmother still has that lake house but it has been years since I have been there. It must have been 20 years plus since we saw last one.

We would find really big cat prints all the time in the mud on the water's edge on the neighboring ranch at the back of the cove.

The most amazing animal sighting we had was hunting the Whittey Patten ranch out of Del Rio when I was 14. Early in the morning we made out was quietly through the brush to a stock tank, and standing there having a drink was a Mexican Wolf, big as day. A very hefty male, probably 70 to 75 lbs. Behind him, a couple smaller females. I wish I was carrying a camera that morning instead of my 30/30.

Wolf's are cool. I saw one while working at the plant in Denver in 2005. I was driving back to Golden from South Park (Yes, South Park Colorado is a real place). I was driving back up the mountain from the valley and had one stick his head out of the brush in front of me. They are alot bigger than you would expect. I found out that a breeding colony had been set free up there and none had been seen in 7 or 8 years. Of all the animals I saw up there, the wolf is the one I remember the most.

I sat in a deerblind once up in Persall, and watched 2 panthers possibly full grown playing like kittens, it was really a grand site. Problem is everyone was kinda mad that I pop one, heck they were only 50 yards away and I was really still. I told them that was the first time I had ever seen anything like that and that it would probably be the last time, no ne said anything after that. I'm 53 and I have just seen my first humming birds nest, watched her build it, have younguns, and then leave. I have the nest in my house now. Some things sre just meant to be enjoyed, maybe I got to watch those panthers because someone knew I wasn't going to kill them. argue that one. Wink
