Blaise 2,253 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Results The aim isn't to kill a lot of animals nor to dig big holes. Each team have to hunt a badger set in the clever way, with respect for dogs, respect for the quarry, respect of men. 11 Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,253 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 We don't kill an animal in the hole. We catch the quarry without wound it. So here, we are using special tongs : the largest for the body, the little one for paws. They are made to be safe. At the end we can release the badger or dispatch it outside the terrier. 9 Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,253 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Can badgers be taken out of a dig with your hands Blaise ? Yes you can, be careful. Each year, some are catched with hands (at the tail or back paws). 3 Quote Link to post
