squirreltail 15 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 We got badgers everywhere round us here.More than ever before they dig up the banks and theres heaps of soil falling onto the road .the setts behind us are expanding along the fields so the population is expanding quicker than ever before. They are complete pests churning up the countryside.leverets remains strewn by the entrances. know fox lives amongst badger also and some remains from fox but leverets picked off the field by badger also. Why dont the powers that be do a cull? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waz77 15 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I saw one running round a field here today at about 1.00pm,must be the dry weather causing them to struggle to find food,in july last year i kept seeing one when i went to pheasant pens about 4.00pm every day for a week,it had been very dry then too for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 They can be a proper pain in the ass, but they are protected and your powerless to do anything about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,799 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Like Wilf says, leave 'em be. Let them run amok amongst ground nesting birds, dig out young rabbits and seek Leverets in cover, dig out wild Bees hives and kill the already quite scarce Hedgehog as well as take the odd lamb or ten and finally cause massive earth damage. We're told by those that think they know better that badgers don't cause any trouble, so let them take the rap for our dwindling wildlife! I'll bet the silence will be deafening when the shit hits the fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
