What the hunters do in Chapter 4 to prepare for a second hunt is to decorate themselves. Specifically, they paint their faces into pretty hideous masks. Jack is the one who gets this started. He says at first that he is doing it for camouflage, to keep the pigs from seeing his pink face.
After he gets himself painted up, Jack leads the hunters in a bit of a dance while Jack talks in a bloodthirsty way about stabbing the pig.
By doing these things, Jack is showing that he is moving more towards savagery.
