Very much so!!! :)

Technically it is live-baiting. Hence my caveat. The ones near me are really easily spooked. It's a fairly busy part of public land, but they are very very wary. Even with a 300 and 2x I can't get anyway near close enough. Shame as there are loads......

Great thread Fracster. Love what you are doing for the badgers. I've just found out about an active sett near me. Unfortunately its on the edge of a cornfield, which will make imaging a task, but it should give me a good insight into their path network. This will be very useful when the crops...
