Visited my badger set today

Went for a bimble today to a badger set and came across the bones of an old boar badger that had been dug up on recent excavations. I’ve visited this set for about 15 years, I also have a few cameras that cover the set with the images being sent back to the house but it’s the first I have ever seen.

 

I know its not shooting but some will know I like Badgers…allot so I had to show you.

 

Going to get it cleaned up and mounted, looks like its died from a major injury to the jaw because there’s a big chuck missing from front lower jaw, only had to chase one bunch of diggers and never seen any since, so it must have been another badger.

Nice find, badger skulls are quite unusual as the lower jaw still remains well attached to the skull, even after all of the connective tissue is gone.

 

Just as a note of caution I would draw your attention to the Protection of Badgers Act which makes it an offence to posses any part of a dead badger unless you can prove that it was not killed illegally.

 

 

Q :)
