    They're a protected species. You can't interfere with them AFAIK. There maybe a permit available to cull some if they're a serious problem but I am not sure about that. I have found baited fox cages a waste of time in badger areas, as I was always catching and releasing them.

    Are you using snares?

    I thought snares were legal if you are aiming for the leg and not the head/neck?

    Badgers are protected from my knowledge and shouldnt be tampered with.

    If your snaring and trapping there is some good guidance on the BASC website. Basically be very careful of non targeted species
