chesterse Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Came across a full grown badger which I presumed was a road kill at the side of our country lane. Next morning something had been eating it and had dragged it a good twenty yards into the wide verge, a lot of the fur had been ripped off and chunks taken out of it. Anyway the next morning the whole thing had been taken off. It’s quite remote where we are so it it very unlikely another human being would have been involved. Could it have been a fox? I would have thought a badger would have been too heavy for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Could have been a badger, much stronger than a fox and not any fussier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Known as the Vegan Eagles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wb123 Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Won’t have been a fox, badger, buzzard, or sea eagle. They don’t eat other creatures and live in perfect vegan harmony with everything around them. Must have been one of those terrible badger baiting fox hunting deer rogering types...

henry d Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Fox could do it, I had a roadkill doe dragged 50 or more yards from where it died across a recently sown field. It left it there and took bellyfulls on regular occasions, but never when I was there to catch it unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
