Badger
À propos de la chasse (badger)
Badger hunting is primarily done as stand hunting at the sett during dusk. The badger is nocturnal and emerges from its sett at twilight to feed. Sit quietly on a stand near the entrance, and you can get a clean shot.
Driving with a dog that enters the sett is another method, but it requires specially trained dogs and is more demanding.
Badger meat is surprisingly good and can be prepared as a game roast.
