Hey all,
We have quite an abundance of badgers down my way, and now seems to be the time of year that they start to become more active - out early (seen quite a few now in the early evening) and getting quite a few poking around our garden at night.
I'm on a farm, and have come across badgers many many times, and never came across an aggressive one (and I've been pretty close) but I have heard stories of aggression.
Would anyone have any problems with sleeping in a bivvi in badger territory?
I'm pretty confident that they wouldn't attack you - my concern is mainly that they have *terrible* eyesight. I spooked one in the yard once and it actually ran at me, to get through the gate behind me, until I let it know I was there by stamping![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
