    EErrr...make sure you get your maths correct...... you could legally dig badgers up until 1981 to prevent poultry predation and crop damage. EErrr perhaps I should of phrased it better..............up until 1973 you could legally dig Badgers for no other reason other than purely for sport and fun of it. The same as using a Terrier on a Fox to ground, it is illegal, unless there are certain conditions. No...you were wrong, not phrased incorrectly. You said that from 1974 no one had legally dug to a badger. Plainly they have. Don't worry, I spotted it and corrected it for ya....

    They don't spend too long in the same place mate, unless its a mother with cubs. Typically they patrol their territory on a 7-12 day cycle, though in areas of high prey they do stay in the vicinity a little longer if everything is to their favour.

    What about some of the bad stuff 'God' has done..... Peter Sutcliffe said that God had told him to go forth and murder and rape all those women.....anyone's thoughts on that?

    that's the most obsurd statement I've ever heard ! There never I'll , just fit or dead ! Have you ever kept birds ? Never kept them mate. Just guessing that's all.

    Love him or hate him, he gets people talking and, more importantly, he is on OUR side folks....

    I'm not sure this is correct mate. I believe at least some of the original otters used in captive breeding were live trapped in the north of Scotland.

    More worrying for me is the effect beaver will have on the Atlantic Salmon; a fish that is in a steep decline in the UK. The nutty conservationists have promised that the beaver won't dam up the streams and block adults from spawning...but they have! I see beaver introductions as the final nail in the coffin for the Salmon in all the tributaries where beaver are released. Don't these people see the damage they are doing by clogging the UK up with 'previously extinct' creatures?.....

    Put some heavy duty gear in matey. They will bite through standard chicken/rabbit mesh.....

    There's very rarely such a thing as a sick bird...they're either dead or healthy....... Good luck, but I've not seen many come back from a bout of illness... Thats the thing with birds and other stock, they do die for no apparent reason, but I hope she comes good for ya....

    That poor dog, I really feel sorry for it getting passed around from one fool to the next. Be a man about it and find that dog a pet home.

    Doubt me if you like....I can back everything I say up. I wouldn't say it otherwise. But anyway, you have your thoughts and I have mine.......

    When a dog kills a deer its 'barbaric cruelty'....when an introduced wolf pack kills a deer it's 'nature'.....hhhmmmmmmm

    Well, disagree all you want. My opinion comes from years of experience; tracking, photographing and filming. And I am certain you'd change your tune if they were costing you thousands each year.....I study otters alot, I know that despite looking like they've walked straight off a Disney Cartoon they are one of the most ruthless predators in the UK. The Enviroment Agency are swamped with people complaining about them..... They are no different from badgers, they look great, but do alot of damage. However, they are protected, and always will be, but I do feel sorry for fishery owners.....

    Poor dog...........

    What is it about these 'conservationists' obsessions with apex predators and 'extinct' mammals. Why not put effort into what animals we have left. The red kite introduction is the worst thing that could have ever happened for native ground nesting birds, particularly in the North of England. mark my words, the truth will come out but maybe not before the peewit and the curlew and the grey partridge have been predated into extinction. the survival rate of these chicks in red kite country must be less than 10%, in a matter of years there's going to be some major major decline in such birds.

    They do not genuinely need protection. They are not rare nor endangered. In fact, they are a major pest for fishery owners causing thousands of pounds of damage.

    How embarrassing......let's hope the guilty parties get the book thrown at them. if this is the face of law and order then God help us!
  22. J Darcy
    They are now common across much of the UK. it's just that you never see them. I've seen lots over the last 8 years, and once you start looking for them it's amazing how much sign you see.In many of our rivers they are at saturation point.....I would say that they are more common than mink in quite a bit of the UK....
  23. J Darcy
    I've tried them.

    It's a baffle to stop any non-targets going in. Such as birds. And, yes, to help align the target to drop onto the trap plate.

    Perspex trap box for the squiggles.....Just got it painted on the inside, so I will get it out in the woods this coming week....
