    Right, took the bike for a walk and spotted a creature in the middle of a field. It did not appear to be alive. Went to investigate, clapped my hands first just in case it was having a snooze but it was definitely dead.

    So … to get to the nitty gritty … it was a young badger and I wanted to take it home to be the first in my mammal collection (looked in pretty good nick). But would I legally be entitled to do this? Or does the farmer 'own' it? Could I get arrested?

    Someone on STW is bound to know! Thank you so much. 🙂

    You seem a nice woman CG but this is quite possibly the most disturbing thing I have ever read on Singletrack.

    How a dead badger can be in "pretty good nick" was the best bit..

    I am definitely not weird! That is quite insulting. 😥

    Some animals are beautiful creatures. I have a large deer antler in my lounge, nobody has been freaked out by it. What's the problem?

    I think it's lovely thing cg.
    Do you have an old pet dog mounted on wheels so you can take it on walkies?

    CG, an antler is one thing, a rotting badger is quite another!

    You are, I'm assuming, thinking of getting it stuffed?

    I'm half amazed, half intrigued by this

    Seriously CG animals are indeed beautiful, frolicing about, doing animally things. Being stuffed and sitting in a lounge they do not reflect well on the homeowner.

    No, I don't want to eat it. But I could see that it wasn't 'damaged' so not sure of the cause of death. Bit worried about Bovine TB to be honest.

    My mother has a collection of animal skulls of nearly all the british mammals – from shrews to badgers to dear to goose to wrens. I don't think there are any human skulls amongst them

    That badger would be supplying food to lot of other things in the local ecosystem. Let them have it instead.

    I am definitely not weird, now will someone help me decide if I'm allowed to collect dead badgers

    Yes, it would be stuffed. I do actually have some animal remains in my house – not on public display though.

    Love the pics btw. 😆

    Well, I was thinking of borrowing a Bob trailer but am not strong enough to do that. My next request was to ask if anyone had an all terrain pram I could borrow?

    You're lucky you're known in these parts CG, if this was a newcomer, you'd get totally flamed for this.

    Sorry, mental image of someone peering into the pram to coo over baby and being confronted with a dead badger amuses me greatly!

    Mmm badger, tis BBQ season after all. Young is better, tenderer.

    Let it hang in the garage for a couple of days, then skin 'n baste with honey/English mustard and on the grill. Boil up the remains to remove the skin/remains and mount the skull on your handlebars.

    and mount the skull on your handlebars

    That conjures up the most disturbing image of this thread (is badgering a bit like dogging)

    The real pisser is that badgers don't have horns, but I guess a half-open mouth with fangs will have to do.

    I'm certain most forum users have been accused of badgering their partners for sex at some point!

    Yeah, but horns? Horns rock on your handlebars. Jawbones? As in suck-your-cheeks-and-pretend-you're-Andrew-Eldritch? Pfffff

    I managed to get a rabbit stuck in my front wheel yesterday on the way back from uni.

    Its probably a bit tatty, but I know where it is and could post it to you if you wanted it for your collection C_G?
