A damn temptation, I am again and again thinking about jaguar hunting.
This cat turns the mighty leopard to a normal cat.
Some male jaguars are high on steroids and maybe too much sturdy according to the standards........fixed by our look on leopard.

Good news, there are still some places where the jaguar can be hunted :

PROTECTION AND POPULATION STATUS
The jaguar is regulated as an Appendix I species under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). This means that all international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists jaguars as Lower Risk, Near-Threatened.
The US Endangered Species Act protects jaguars as Endangered.
Major threats to the species are population fragmentation, deforestation and direct persecution.
Overall the trend in population is a decline.
Any hunting of jaguars is prohibited in Argentina, Colombia, French Guiana, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Suriname, United States, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Hunting of jaguars is restricted to “problem animals” in Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru.
Trophy hunting is permitted in Bolivia.
The species has no legal protection in Ecuador or Guyana (IUCN, 2000).

extract from

Jaguar Guidelines for captive management

that offers interesting facts on jaguar, habitat, reproduction, comportement......and husbandry.
Very intructive book though they quote ......Capstick about man eaters.

BAD NEWS
No way to import a skin in the US of A.

Good reading
