Description
Table 1. The number of jackals sighted and captured during the helicopter net-gun flying sessions at a small-stock farming region in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, 2020–2021. Each capture session records the number of days flown alongside the number of hours spent in the air. The capture rate for the number of jackals captured per hour is calculated and presented for each day of flying.
