I was watching the 24hr game-cam from, I believe, Germany. There appeared to be some kind of small, maybe 12-20K animal. I'm just guessing at the weight. It appeared something as our racoon, but I didn't notice a tail. It could have been a badger. It was eating bait corn. Do you have any idea what it might have been? capt david


"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds. Get closer!

Probably a racoon, they do exist in parts of Southern Germany

Hunting is getting as close as you can, shooting is getting as far away as possible.

Could be Racoon dog



But since it was eating corn it was probably a badger

This animal is a Marderhund (nycetereutes procyonoides) also called Enok.
You can often find it in Eastern Germany (Brandenburg, Mecklenburg - Vorpommern) where hunters shoot more enoks than foxes.

But the enok moves more and more to the west and in some years will have it in whole Germany.

I think nycetereutes procyonoides is the Latin name for Racoon Dog...

Never realised that they had these or Racoons in Germany though..Both must have been introduced at some point?
