    Before this gets closed as im sure it will heres the answer to the original question .For those that need to know the signs of what to look for here ,they are - Badgers will draw fresh earth from a sette all year round in their continuous habit of enlargement whereas the fox will ONLY dig to create a cubbing den in early spring .The sight of a large ,fresh spoil heap in winter is a sure sign of badger . Bedding may be in or near the mouth of a sette as well as a clear drag line to and from the sette .Foxes use no bedding whatsoever . A clear ,very well trodden path ,TO ,FROM AND ACROSS the

    Well done on that mate .Hopefully you will have a few more now . Edited to add that there appears to be a distinct diference between heads up there and down here in that we dont produce such tall narrow heads ,tending to be wider and with heavy brow tines .Just an observation from a few posts recently and in the past .

    To be honest mate ,your heart is not in it .Stick to the jet skying as there are enough pretenders at it any way .

    Dont know if its just me not having noticed before but in the last 5 years or so ,the corvid population seems to have more than their fair share of white attributes .White winged crows are the norm around us now .

    Fantastic pics mate and in answer to the last post ,cubs alone are very trusting and nieve ,even reappearing after a fright .The vixen at the den is another matter which is why those pics are so superb .Well done on that mate .

    Age-As a rule a 4 pointer is under 2 years of age but there are exceptions to every rule .Definately under 3 by the look of it .

    My own observation is that they do not have territories as such but the right to mate with a particular doe is defended by a following buck .They are the deer most dependent on cover ,the denser the better and this is what is sometimes deemed as territory when in fact ,if cover stretches for miles then a munty will travel the length of it in search of a mate ,unchalleged by others.

    Might just be the light but wheres the chocolate pat mate ?

    A chap i know makes loads .He has a years supply in hand all the time ,thats to say he cuts when he sees it but lets it cure for a year then debarks it .A little trick i know he does is to' train'stuff to grow a particular way ie wrap a hazel swtch around a broom handle to create a curler but this is serious ,years ahead stuff .To create a bowl end then split a growing switch and pack it with clay and bind .The growing tip swells im told .

    Good read there mate and fair play to Dave for taking you out .Hopefully you will have a few shots at paper next time ,just to satisfy Dave that you can shoot and as for the buck fever mate ,a tip is to look away until you are told to shoot .
