Moving an old gooseberry bush

Hi, I have an old gooseberry bush approx 10-20 years old, it generates several pounds of fruit each year and I prune it to a goblet shape each winter. All my hard work and pain is undone by badgers stealing the fruit, I want to move the bush so I don't have to wrap chicken wire and wooden poles around it each year. One of my allotment neighbours says it is too old to be moved, so I wondered if you had any advice please. The foliage of this bush is approx 1 cubic metre. Thank you, Andrew
