Starts From $225

Black Backed Jackals are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal to Ethiopia and down to South Africa. They are adaptable to a wide range of habitats, including grasslands, savannas, deserts, and forests.
Black Backed Jackals are generally around 40-50 cm tall at the shoulder and weigh between 6-14 kg. Males are typically larger than females.
Black Backed Jackals have a distinctive black stripe running down their back and tail, contrasting with their tan or gray fur on their sides and legs. They have pointed ears and a narrow snout.
When hunting Black Backed Jackals, it is recommended to use a rifle with a caliber between .223 and .308. Optics such as a scope or binoculars are also useful for spotting and tracking the animal.
Black Backed Jackals are primarily nocturnal, so hunting during the early morning or late evening hours is recommended. Look for tracks, scat, and signs of recent activity such as fresh kills or digging.
The recommended shot placement for a Black Backed Jackal is a shot to the vitals, aiming for the chest cavity behind the front shoulder. A clean shot will ensure a quick and humane kill.
