In a Brazil expedition, Col Rondon and Kermit Beevers pursue jaguars through papyrus swamps. They ride marsh ponies with jaguar hunters and hounds, tracking a fresh sign to a Saruman tree where a female jaguar is shot at 70 yards with a Springfield. The hunt reveals swamp-adapted big cats and rugged field camaraderie amid Brazilian naturalists and local guides.
An eyewitness recounts a jaguar hunt in the Amazon region. He describes tracking with hounds across bayous and palms, the shot from a Springfield, and the big jaguar killed in a fig tree with a 45 Winchester. The piece also compares jaguars to cougars and leopards, notes their water-loving habits, prey on capybaras, deer, and cattle, and reflects on hunter knowledge versus scientific observation. He laments myths among hunters and cites Col Rondon on jaguar behavior, urging caution in attributing varied habits without specimens.
