I got up at 03.30 hours so I could be in Bakonya at 04.00 hours to meet Robi and Zoltan. We were going to sit at the edge of a big cornfield only just outside of the village.
We got there at about 04.15 hours and settled in for a 2 hour sit. Visibility and wind were good so all seemed to be promising.
After 2 hours the only thing I'd seen was a lone Hare that wandered past my high-seat a few times. So slightly disappointed I packed up and drove off to pick Robi up. After about 20 meters in the car I heard Zoltan take a shot. We usually wait about 2 minutes before calling someone who has shot something to give them time to evaluate or take a second shot if necessary. So I carried on towards Robi. Together we went to Zoltan's high-seat to see what he'd shot. It was golden jackal!
We don't get much of them around here and only 3 (now 4) people from our club have ever shot one. They are a true pest because they eat all the young Roe deer and then some.
