I Had this badger come in the other day only the 3rd one I have ever seen in my life. The first one was about 30 years ago Near Ranger Texas and the second was Near Aspen Colorado both crossing a highway. This was the first ever I have seen while hunting.

I've had them come in to a call.
Supposedly they do not hibernate although commonly seen late winter/early spring and early summer in this area, I have not seen one in the winter either alive or dead on the road.

How they smell kinda depends on the time of year. I've shot some that hardly smell at all then I've shot some during breeding season that actually made me gag.

Stinky bastids indeed! X-VERMINATOR
Sooner or later our heritage of hunting is going to be a rich mans sport and the words "Outfitter" and "Hunt Industry" will be synonymous with cancer and A.I.D.S. among blue collar hunters like me and my family! (A.L. Williams - 2010)

I see maybe one a year here at our ranch in N.TX. Mom said they were all over that country when she was a little kid, though.
On a hunt with Huntsonora and a buddy 3 years ago in Colorado, I was chasing one with my Nikon D-70 while Huntsonora was laughing his big ass off.
