No, they were definitely wolves although maybe young ones...there are no jackals in Mongolia.

Subject: [MDBirding] Off-Topic: Falconry with Golden Eagles
As Gail has observed, there is a tradition, and several videos on YouTube of Mongolians using Golden Eagles to hunt wolves. I have seen videos with just one eagle, but the wolf(ves) in question looked pretty scrawny, indeed, I was thinking jackal. I'm not real conversant with the canids of Central Asia.
