| | | Longworths and badgers
Anyone got any tips for preventing badgers disrupting trapping lines of Longworths by knocking over and opening traps?
It would need to be a very simple low-tech solution, as 133 traps are in operation at once. |

Bamboo / sticks to hold the traps in place maybe? But not much can stop a badger doing what it wants to do!  |

Are they after the bait or the capture? |

I think they're after both bait and captures. I did think about a tent-peg type thing to pin them down, but wondered if anyone had a better solution. |

Mitigation feeding at each end of the trap line? |

Mitigation feeding might help although you'll probably need quite a lot of food to satisfy a badger's appetite
