The owner of the small ranch where I shot the jackal the other day asked if I could come back.

Another jackal is killing his fowls.

I was limited to only one stand as the property is only about 80 acres.

After about 30 minutes on the stand and with no vocal response or eyes I decided to call it a night.

On my last scan I picked up two sets of eyes. :grin:

They moved from the Poplar trees up hill. The rabbit in distress call was enough to entice one closer. At the shot he started spinning. It looked like he went down and I reloaded for the second jackal. This one stayed backed at about 200 meters. :winkgrin:

No matter what I tried he did not want to come in. I tried a long distance shot with the 22K Hornet. Did not connect.



This was a male jackal about 6 to 7 years old.

I skinned the jackal and will have a flat skin made and a skull mount. :grin:

Nice!!

Congrats!

You are having waaay too much fun!!

Good Hunting,

Bob

Thanks Bob.

We have a lot of nice predators that we can call.

The next time I make it back to Africa, I think I would like to add a jackal to the list.

Congratulations nice photos and excellent rifle here we have a bif problems with foxes ,they are a pest and they are destroying the partrige population we killed a lot every year but they are in every place ,they killed my pet guinea fowls too and all my turkeys .Juan

That Jackal has a very nice looking coat. Congratulations!

Juan, they killed your guinea fowl, they did you a service. No more annoying and loud bird exhist.

They were all over the place where I hunted in Namibia, and the damn things kept me up all night.

The PH, told me that he had killed all the ones near his house so he could sleep at night, but it took baboons moving in to get rid of them.
