    It's a small garden and i think he's living under a hedge in there. Unfortunately sometimes when I'm walking out the front door there is a bit of a stand off. I'm cool, but he doesn't seem happy. A bit of hissing and standing up. We are kind of cornered when we try to pass each other. Would a wildlife ranger be the guy to sort this?

    Seek advice from the NPWS.

    Yeah, had a look at their website but not great. RSPCA had some info on Badgers.

    Sounds a bit odd..a Badger will usually steer well clear of human contact and wouldn't live under a hedge unless there was a sett there which in your case sounds unlikely, you're sure it's a Badger?
    Assume you live in the countryside..anyway, as suggested NPWS will tell you who your local wildlife ranger is..
