Jackal

[Miletic]

This little bunny was surrounded by two jackals last night

They didn't expect that by chance there was a rabbit lover with 243win in his hands some 100m away.

Do you have jackals in your hunting grounds and how do you hunt them? What caliber and bullets most often?

Well done, are those Golden Jackals ?

We done have them in NZ, we have Wild Dogs (Dingoes) in Aussie & they are similar but a bit bigger, actually your Golden look bigger than most Jackals, maybe a bit less than Coyotes ?

In Africa I hunt Black Back Jackals by a few means & shoot them with what ever I have at hand, a lot with a standard .22LR, been after Side Striped a couple of times but didn’t connect.

Hello Sarg.
Yes, that's a Golden Jackal (Canus aureus). Here in Serbia they are quite large and heavy for that species. They are real evildoers, they reproduce easily and they are pragmatic. They destroy wild roe deer. It is a big problem to save roe deer fawns. They reproduce very pragmatically.
I have a brother who lives in Australia, so I will probably go to his place to hunt dingoes and kangaroos

Here are some more pictures.

Haha well I think you may have saved a fair few Fawns by the looks there !

Hell must be high numbers to get so many in a short time ?

I think you might mean they breed prolifically not pragmatically ?

Depends what State your Brother is in, some have protection on Dingos & some have bounty’s, so we say Wild Dogs to keep it safe, also you can’t shoot Roos without a special license & tags, well you can shoot shoot em but it won’t be legal without those !

So you bait them & shoot at night, do you call them ?

I have had great fun calling Foxes -Jackals - Dingos - Hyenas & Cats with distress calls !

I didn't catch everything from these pictures. My friends who I take hunting have caught most of them. Of course, I have a large number of shot dead. I thought they were pragmatic in terms of life and survival. They easily adapt to new conditions. They eat whatever they can get, from mice, worms to turning over bags in the garbage. They easily adapt to cold and heat, in that sense they are pragmatic. Brother lives in Cambera. Uncle lived a long time in the same Cambera and hunted there for many years. They shot dingoes

They appear very similar to coyotes in behavior and build. Here they are a major predator of mule deer, especially in winter snow.
There is a saying that when the world ends the only things Left will be cockroaches and coyotes! Good work on cutting them down, and don’t worry I won’t tell anyone you did it with a .243

 

[Miletic]

Why won't you say I did it with 243? ????
Why?Why?Why?

Because of @Bob Nelson 35Whelen who hates the .243

Because of @Bob Nelson 35Whelen who hates the .243

I wanted to somehow write 243 in as small numbers as possible, hoping that Bob wouldn't see
But ……
It seems I didn't succeed.

This evening
The first picture is of me on the rifle, and the sakal was shot by my friend nearby. It was shot with SST 95gr, example CCI no-2, Wiht N550

 

[Sarg]

Looks like the .243Win was again more than enough .

Do you have many Wolves in your area & if so do they ever inter breed with the Golden Jackal ?

 

[Miletic]

In the part where these pictures are from, the wolf rarely comes. It is the part that leans against the mountain. The wolf comes but not that often. Where there are wolves, there are rarely jackals. I only shot a jackal once on the mountain at a wolf feeding ground. Here, if wolves come across a jackal, they kill it immediately. They do not cross paths.
