New permision Fox and Badger

[jpt 285]

I have just landed me and my hunting mate some new permision which I have been waiting about a year to get. I asked the sheep farmer in question last year (which was my first season at this hunting game) but I think he wanted to wait and see if me and my mate were serious about hunting before he let us on his land. Anyway what I wanted to know was this; Do fox and Badger live in the same earth? He has farmed his land for 60 years and said they both live in there. I questioned this in my mind but did not say anything but i doubt it but hes known the land all his life and he says its so.

What do you think?

 

Cheers, JPT

Agree with Fellman, I'd do a bit more research before wandering his fields with dog and shovel.

and make sure you get written permission to protect his pheasants, never mind the poor defenceles sheep!

there are some that live very happy together with some bunny and a hedgehog and a couple of doormice in farthing wood

it is not all that uncommon for fox and badger to use the same earth/set but i have never come across them both in the same at the same time although quite often ive come across rabbit and fox occupying together in the early end of the season when there is still plenty of food about for the foxs not to be botherd about the rabbits.

Intresting...........

 

I am working the land with lurcher at night with the lamp. Just after rabbits but thought I would ask and see what you lot thought.

 

Neither of us has a digging dog and we have just been allowed to move the rabbits.

 

Who knows what the future holds.........

they will give any dog a run for his money so you better have a good one or two with balls of steel
