What is this all about????


Recommended Posts

Just been out for a walk and in the fields alongside the woods were a load of these little home made flags markers, so I wondered over for a little look and they seem to be indicating badger activity, don’t need or want any personal details and won’t give any if it’s on your land but is this something to do with the badger cull

Was having a mooch around the back of  Slimbridge over the weekend and the badger activity was insane, told my wife and daughter to get ready for the daddy long legs invasion, sure enough they were in the house waiting when I got home ??????

Look like bait points to me,peanuts in a hole with stones on top flag makes it easier to find

Sorry. Maybe I'm a bit slow? But, I'm failing to grasp how that all fits together. What's the logistics behind this?

Obviously, I can see the 'meaning' behind a bait point, in this context. Just can't fathom how rocks and stakes fit in.

Please do feel free to drop me a PM  :)

Me to that’s why I asked this field is in south Gloucester and is normally full of cows hence me thinking badger cull also the field has an enormous sett right along one side of it, it also on very flat land so hard to shoot over without putting up a tower, the plot thickens ?

They train the badgers to tip the rock over and that then becomes the trap trigger. The flag just makes it easy for pre baiting rounds.
