I must have gotten lucky with the one badger I found it necessary to terminate.
Some thirty years ago, we were in the yard at my Mom's house and spied a big old badger waddling across the adjoining pasture.
Then I see the old deaf retired red heeler cow dog had winded the badger. The dog was too deaf to call him back. But Mom kept a Glenfield model 60 inside the door to her house. I asked Mom to hand me her rifle and I placed one 40 gr hp just behind the badger's ear from 50 yds, about 2 seconds before the dog got there.
One trip to the vet prevented.
