This Badger has been tearing up the landscape near our buildings all Spring. The warmer it gets, the more nocturnal they get --- hard to find this time of year. Yesterday, as I was leaving the place, I saw him stick his noggin out of some tall grass near the road. Put him down with my old Smith & Wesson Varmint Getter.

Nice shootin'.
I have actually found the opposite with badgers. For whatever reason I seem to kill more this time of year than any other.

Yesterday, as I was leaving the place, I saw him stick his noggin out of some tall grass near the road. Put him down with my old Smith & Wesson Varmint Getter. I got his twin brother a couple of days ago --- About a mile from the one in the photo. I was on my 4 wheeler and he took off ahead of me. Had to cycle the BearCat twice to get by the Snake rounds and rolled him just short of his hole. He could have made it down but instead turned toward me with a nasty look and teeth barred. Last one of the 4 rounds of ball finally did the job. He had about ruined 15 acres of farm ground in the preceding week.

Curious, what is a Smith and Wesson Varmint Getter? Bearcat I comprehend.
First badger I ever took was as a fifteen or so teenager. Dad's three black guy hands and I were riding in the back of the pickup. Badger ran across the road. I bailed out and ran him down. No weapon. I removed one of my fairly substantial wingtip shoes and dispatched the badger, much to the alarm of the hands. They kept yelling that the badger was going to eat me.
James, who stayed with us for a long time told the story many times about how brave I was. I'm not sure young and stupid might not have been a better description.
Good hunting,
Jack

Yeah, he dug about 20 test holes for every real hole. Unbelievably destructive to dryland wheat ground. Neighbor did $20,000+ damage to a new CaseIH combine by picking up a rock and running it thru the separator --- Rock was on top of a Badger hole mound-- very common.
