Not too long ago, a rare event happened at the sett of the badger pair which I have been monitoring for about a year, whereby a large boar intruded upon the dwelling of the pair to mate with the sow.

I don’t know who exactly left it there, but the suspicion popped in my mind that I may have poachers hunting in my forest. I know the licensed hunters who are allowed … Continue reading “Found Hoof and Bones from Deer – Possible Poacher Activity”
