Cheers, some of the group actually go over and spend three months with the mounting lion group in America they have some kind of conference every few years, I am to near towns and motorways to run hounds unfortunately but I have thought of training a scat dog which they also use a lot, interesting little point raised regarding the burying of prey, it does happen over here but is much rarer as is leopards taking there prey up trees and the general consensus from both sides of the Atlantic is its a lack of competition in England means they don't need to hide there food, the puma has bears to con

True Are you asking about the fox or the badger?
-
By using the cross technique I have to agree with you about the print being canine but regarding the badger I,ve only showed you two pics there are many other things to look at when you find a carcass the marks in the grass and other things tell a story of what happened this badger was killed as he left his sett and dragged into a field before being consumed, I, am actually considered quite good at what I do really, any ways a flat battery and a hot bath beacons

Will show you the hole later, but no exit wound and no bullet inside, cats eat organs not stomach it gets moved to one side, then eaten by fox,s and badgers
-
Cats also have nails that they keep retracted unless walking in mud or snow, so don't write them off for the claws, the three lobes on the back pad are far more confirmation than claws, another simple test I do when I,m out is to make a cross on the pad inside the outer toes if the cross does not touch the rear pad its canine if you can't make a cross without going over the rear pad probably a cat, simple, also the badger being killed by other badgers would carry some weight due to the time of year etc but not with a single bite right down through its skull it should have signs on its face, th

Your finger is right in the way on the second photo if it has three lobes on the rear pad its feline if it's more like an upside down heart shape with two lobes canine

That's a good fresh one, do you have any idea what happened to it, is its stomach nearby, looks like it met a simular end to my badger, it's normally from September onwards that I find them, as it coincides with the culprit moving from open land into cover for winter and as with any big preditor removing the lesser preditors first both fills your belly and makes for an easy winter thanks for sharing cheers
-
The first pic is literally just skin he has been turned inside out the second pic is hanging out the skin, I did have to move it around and twist it about a bit, the 80s furry boots are were its been rolled down his leg, pretty cool find and my first of the winter
-
Went back today and had a bit of a look round found a couple of maybe,s but the grass in the field is quite long and still pretty lush, there is a private wood next to the body were its been dragged from and it has about a foot of leaf litter on the floor as no one goes in there you can see were things have moved through but no good prints I,m afraid
-
First clue for the fox fans, when a fox or even a badger chews ribs from a carcass the ends look like a paint brush as they chew it and not cut it, second clue fox,badger and rat will eat the stomach not leave it unburst hanging from the spine picture two coming up, black bag is the stomach also notice how the skin has been rolled down the legs and the missing ribs cut clean off tight to the spine with no frizzy stumps, the badger also had no facial damage that would indicate a fight with either a dog or another badger it has a single bite mark through the top of its head and it was then licke

I don't think he,s the first I,m sure I heard a simular story some years ago, but FairPlay to him and his mates for seeing it through

Right I think I can now finally add a picture, so it's been a while and my gallery just keeps on growing, as we all know there is know such thing as big cats living wild in England so I was wondering if anyone could explain this one, I found it fresh yesterday morning no rigamortis had set in and it's stomach was still in tact, it's totally been skinned out, I found a deer around 50 yards away at exactly the same time last year in very simular condition , so the question I need answering is this, what kind of British mamal can catch a full grown badger , kill it, gut it and eat it all during t

Am by know means an expert but when I asked what this wood was I was told black poplar and it does look simular to yours hope it helps

Forget a gun until you have land to take it on as you will be tempted to do naughty things, when you buy your ferret get a dozen purse nets to go with it these are placed over the hole and close round the rabbit as it exits, you may want a small whippetie type lurcher next to nail anything that avoids the nets and so your armoury will grow, next get a decent lamp and get your whippet on the lamp, long nets can be a good way of gathering game if you have no dogs or guns ( or permission) you should also learn how the weather affects your quarry and you as the biggest load of bollacks ever writte

360 licence to drive diggers is not a bad one, you can work for a firm or buy yourself a machine and tipper and sub yourself out
-
You have two choices one has already been suggested to you, which is to get yourself along to your local shoot and offer your services as a beater, you will meet other likeminded folk then get invited out for a bit of ratting and other pest control type jobs, or you can go in the complete opposite direction like me and just go were you want when you want and plead ignorance when it comes on top, it won't make you flavour of the month but you will be fit as feck from legging it and you get to know every gap in the hedge and cut through for miles around, if your planning on getting a gun licenc

Drowned in alchahol then fried complete, if the French can do it to a goldfinch I,m sure a ring neck would make an absolute banquet, I had a squirrel last week that my dog retrieved live (silly boy) it was biting shit out of him, anyway it was in an orchard and had been dining mostly on apples which made the flavour much nicer than some I,ve tried, so maybe feed the ring neck on cheese and Parma ham for a while and it will be taste like a pizza,

I did here of someone shooting one last year in the Forest of Dean it was in there chickens at night, it had a fight with the family Russell a few evenings earlier but they thought it was a fox until it returned for the hens and got shot

Some kind of white noise comes from my bathroom everytime my son has a shower, if that counts

There,s something we could both enjoy up a snow covered mountain, I know an old woman that runs a donkey sanctuary and I saw a massive tumour disappear after all medication failed, the woman applied a canabbis based compound to it every day for a period of time and it went from an angry orange size ball to a small scar in its fur,

Funny a guy I know has just re homed a large leaburger(spelling) ? It's nine years old and comes from Bosnia it's been an army dog then a guard dog but now lives a lovely life on a farm, comes to the pub and sits by the fire and is generally a lovely well rounded animal, I can't stand the attitude let's kill them all incase one goes wrong, all the bollacks about living by kids etc give them a chance it's like convicting someone incase they commit a crime, there are still a few people about that actually have a good relationship and knowledge of there dogs and there are just as many div,s about

Along with the arms industry the industry in medicine is worth billions globally, and the last thing they want or need is a naturally growing plant that can do more than there million pound medicines that,s why they won't research it's health benefits or make it available for trial or promote it, there are many cases of people getting over cancer by self medicating with cannabis I also no several people that have successfully treated animals including donkeys and dogs with it, even prolonging and improving the quality of life is much better than the devastation that chemotherapy and other me
