Walked up to a bad spot and here was a fresh badger hole about 6 feet away. Circled and kept an eye out of that bastard....grin Plan was to whack him with the fence stretcher and take off runnin'. Good plan, Sam. Sounds a lot like "Hold my beer and watch this" with similsr results. Video when it happens, please. "Be sure you're right. Then go ahead." Fess Parker as Davy Crockett

River slow down? If you have burbot in it, fishing is hot when you have to reel in to save your tackle from the ice flows coming down. Or so I learned on the Missouri and Knife Rivers in NoDak as a boy. Didn't get out (yet anyway) to nail any of those ugly SOB's on the Lower Noatak this spring, and probably won't, but next year.... Them things is good eating! That is indeed a unique-looking Badge. I'd have it mounted... The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I'd have it mounted... i know that but my new fishing spot(this one does not require sliding down a 25 foot near vertical bank) is on a bit of a flat making shore fishing interesting until it drops some....ice has been gone for several weeks, its just high due to melt now as scenershooter's is upstream from me all his flood waters come my direction....

One was on a road with my grandpa, and I called the other one in. They sure are pretty bastids and tough as nails. I had to pop this one twice with my 22-250. Very pretty in December/Janurary here in the desert (and make an awesome rug too!)

Put a cable around their neck and let them out of the trap and marched em over to the tailgate, got up on it and let em out. They would usually run about 50 feet, turn and snarl at you as if to say they can't be intimidated. They do have one of the prettiest of all furs, IMO, tough pelt too. https://postimg.cc/xXjW1cqx/81efa4c5 Soli Deo Gloria democrats ARE the plague.

Brad, you got it right when you said they can tear the hell out of a pasture...here's one I trapped on a big ranch near Ringling, Montana back in the mid 80's. The guy that owned this place gave me coyote trapping permission, only if I promised to trap as many badgers as I could first....it was worth it and by the end of February I had 28 badgers and 81 coyotes. I did more shoveling the first couple weeks than setting traps... Luck....is the residue of design...
