Agree with you mate, but I have to be realistic, if I try to spread myself over the whole of the U.K. I could not give it enough attention so I try to stick to my own little patch, also if there is someone in the group closer that could give it more attention I would pass it on to them but as ginger beard is in the sw I,m assuming his family are relatively local, so I,d be happy to meet them hear what they have to say and if feasible get some cameras in Link to post Share on other sites

So is there 100% "proof"there? Otherwise it's a long way to travel to just hear someone's account of it . As this thread shows their all looneys and bullshitters Link to post Share on other sites

What animal in these Isles.... Skins a badger from its arsehole, then pulls all the pelt inside out over the head and doesn't eat its shit sack? Nothing I've ever hunted that's for sure. Nothing eats old brock... they let him rot.... Side of the road or in a field..... Sorry mate you are wrong. A fox turns his nose up at NOTHING .Skins inside out are a results of it being dragged whilst feeding,seen it many time and the place stinking of fox .I've seen big cat kills in Africa and not one was turned inside out. All the doubters want is good clear evidence and until that day I'm afraid ridicule us part of your calling .Without evidence ,no amount of feeling sorry for yourselves cuts it .Either put up or shut up lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You see, us fieldsports enthusiasts (well some of us lol) would know these things. A huge proportion of those into finding Big Cats, will simply come to the conclusion that it had to be a cat that done it. Someone mentioned "why would it kill one of its own out in the open?" Who said it was killed by the badger that fed off it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In truth mate I discard far more than I accept as proof, but this particular animal has all the hallmarks of a cat, so I will log it and looking at the video of the badger eating his roadkill mate it confirms to me even more that another badger never ate or killed this one but an animal far bigger and stronger than a badger was responsible Link to post Share on other sites
