We're just now coming into prime badger season in Idaho. I've been seeing a lot of them. Only been able to get on three of them so far. Got all three with my Ruger#1, .218 Bee, Leupold 6x scope, 40 gr. Nosler Varmageddon. Punched all three in the head. 200, 110 and 40 yds. Going out again tomorrow.
