IF they send marksmen out to shoot badgers, we will spot them.
This is the vow from campaigners against the badger cull who have vowed to stop the shooters for the next six weeks.
'Spotters' have been camped out in secret locations throughout the county to help protect badger setts and their inhabitants.
Vantage points were set up on Tuesday night, with even more points set up last night in Eldersfield, Tewkesbury.
One campaigner, who only wanted to be known as 'Andrew', was up on a hill for more than 10 hours on the first night.
He vowed to keep vigilance for the next few weeks until the end of the cull.
He said on Tuesday night: "Some of us have been here since 5pm, and there are quite a lot of us out there as well. I can't tell you where they are, but I've been up here eight times in the last 10 days.
"It's cold, especially going into the early hours of the morning.
"From here we can see if search vehicles are going out, and will be able to hear gunshots. That way, we can try to stop the shooters when it happens.
"What the Government is doing is just wrong.
"We will stand up against that."
Drew Pratten, from Stop the Cull, has marked out the badger setts after months of scouting and groundwork.
He said more than 200 people have signed up to take part on the scouting missions, and they will be properly hid out to spot the marksmen.
Mr Pratten said: "We have people around the zone, and even more are signing up to help out.
"We have intelligence it will start around this area, so we'll be sure to be on the look out."
The protestors also claimed they have removed baits and upset badger setts to disrupt the cull.
