We have added a new table to our article ‘Hunts vs Badgers‘ which shows the sett-blocking incidents, marking to ground, dig-outs and historic blocking which was discovered during the 2020 – 2021 season. A combination of police work, our own legwork and the season being cut short (as well as disrupted a couple of times) due to Covid-19 lockdowns mean that the numbers of incidents are far lower than in previous seasons. Our work continues against ‘sett crimes’.

Please note that the hunting season runs from May 1st, though hunting itself does not start in this area until late August (cubhunting) with the main season meets starting late October / early November
