A 2015 Bushcraft encounter:

Just after dark a badger came cruising past our unit and seconds later our neighbours started squawking as the badger attacked their bin.



The neighbours seemed very nervous and I had started on the whiskey early, therefore I did the false hero thing and chased the badger off.

The neighbours frantically packed all their food items onto the top of the cupboards and I returned to my whiskey, but minutes later they started squawking again as the badger had returned.

We then witnessed amazing intelligence from the badger (Who I have since found out is well known now and is called Stoffel)

The bin didn’t contain what he wanted and he was very interested in the cooler boxes on top of the cupboard, so he pulled the bottom draw out with his front paws (which you unfortunately can’t see in the pics as I was too slow with the camera) and climbed inside and then proceeded to make a ladder out of the draws until he could get into the top draw. Once in the top draw he grabbed the zip of the cooler box, pulled it until he could fit his head inside and stole a pack of sweets.





Minutes later Stoffel had chowed all the sweets and was now looking for something better, so the burglar repeated the above process, but this time scored a large piece of biltong.





The neighbours were understandably excited about the loss of the biltong, so I suggested that they move all their food into their unit and keep the door closed

Around half an hour later Miss Satara arrived, but as can be seen by her expression, she didn’t like me creeping closer for a pic.

Those Honey Badgers are a bit of a nightmare.
They are becoming bolder and more aggressive
