Here are a few photos of jackal activity during a few  nights around a dead rabbit that was killed by a Rooikat. It makes interesting footage, note the various things the pictures reveal.

Here above we have a pretty much young dog, looking at this photo I would say 4 years max, looking at the photo he looks like he is going to urinate or has just finished, hard to tell, but  all these photos show that because this dead animal has so much traffic and so many dogs visit it – it brings in more and more. Note his ears are towards the ground.

This following dog below may be 80% the same dog as the photo above, however some photo’s shows a much older dog than the rest.

This looks like the same jackal, the time 2-57 maybe he came back, this one also looks like a typical scavenger, these photos reveal that the jackals are active all throughout the night, and January, a typical social period of his yearly cycle. Typical of all the other photos all jackals have noses to the ground, sniffing other jackals scents and also dead prey. Also note that their tails are all hanging at 5 o clock, this is a typically relaxed posture. NOTE his ears are pointed to the ground!

This dog and the above photo are in my opinion 80% the same dog. Note how the infra red camera picked up his eyes, this is how you can pick up eyes with night vision at over 500m away at night using no red lights at all.

BELOW is a older dog, see how far more determined this one is in studing the area!

Here above we have another dog - an adult, a big mother, about an hour later just short an hour, see how interested this old boy is of the area, chances are he is new here, seems to also have fight damage to his tail, but that maybe just some dirt, but looks pretty coloured to me - seems pretty fat also.

This is why I enjoy setting cameras all over the place, it reveals so much, a hunter will never get a true feeling of whats happening on the farm if he does not use this type of camera, it is vital to use as a recce and to gather information.

Here above is the next night.;

This photo above shows this dog, it looks a lot older than the previous first two photos, this was at 8-16 at night, this is just as it got dark, early evening – in my opinion this dog has visited this place a few times, it now shows no interest at all, he just passes through to get an insight as to who else was here and what smells he can collect.

FINAL NIGHT PHOTO IN SEQUENCE

Below we have the last picture at night, if you set the camera in a busy area, have a good bait in a good position to get jackal dead centre of the lens you will get footage, it is a bunch of fun!

 Time - ( 4-22) this dog looks like a pretty old boy to me, interesting that if you look at my site you will also see other photos of jackals in the day, and in daylight they are a pack together, but at night most photos reveal singles. Note the tails, all at 5 o clock position, very relaxed body language.

See this jackals attention to the ground, also very keen on whats happening here, this also looks like a mature adult, but look at the pictures, the jackals are active all night, and into past 8 in the morning at sun up, offering the chance here of an early morning stand from ground level without a bakkie and lights. See our site here for the hunt!!!

GENERAL

Check this big adult in the day, early morning at 5-54 in summer, overcast conditions.

VIDEO SETTING

This was taken at 6-53 in the morning in summer, taken on low resolution, captured from video. Trail camming is fun! Notice how this jackal’s ears are far apart and he is sort of slinking in his body language, telling you that he is very cautious of something,  this is a very cautious dog.
