Badgers

[Master]

Never heard of a badger cull but we don't get many in Texas. We do occasionally have beaver and nutria culls. For animals that aren't regularly hunted or have a healthy natural predator population the best thing for the overall health of ecosystem is a cull. GB let me know if you need my skills across the pond but I'm not sure how I'm going to get my rifle through customs. Oh and I'll probably never shoot another one but for now VC - 1 Bobcat - 0

That is cruel, I hope you ate it afterwards.

No, that is a Bobcat. Completely wild and nothing close to a domesticated cat. It is the size of medium sized dog and tremendous predator. You might familiar with the very similar species of Lynx. Think smaller version of a mountain lion. Hunting is an important part of conservation, particularly in predatory species b/c they lack their own natural predators. When left completely unchecked predatory species such as bobcats and coyotes will inevitably end up eating peoples pets. I fried up the backstraps but wasn't impressed. Doubtful I'll ever shoot another but I am fond of the rug.
