Having 5 or 6 dogs rip apart an animal just doesn't fit my idea of hunting.

I've shot one in Colorado, only one I've ever seen here. Had a rug made but didn't bother to skin it myself. After smelling it I threw it in the back of the truck and took it to the taxidermist to skin. lol Was worth the slightly extra fee.

I've seen a couple antelope hunting in Wyoming but didn't have the proper license to allow me to shoot them.

see em quite often. used to take the boy out to shoot ground squirrels in the spring , we'd just walk the desert from holes to holes and often see a badger on a chilly morn sunning himself on his mound. have shot several and I agree, they be stinky critters.

That's pretty cool! Let's hear the story on this guy.

We were Elk hunting headed back to the main road and this guy was running down the road. I jumped out and grabbed the only rifle we had a 300 win mag and I had him at 15 yards and shot over him. It's kinda hard to shoot that close with the rig I had. Lol. He holed for about 2 minutes then piped back out at 10 yards. I shot under him! Dam so I ran over to the hole and there he was looking up at me growling and pissed off. I stuck the barrel down the hole and let him have it. He was so fat I could barley get him out. My Taxi said he hasn't seen one that big in a long time.

Funny story! That's going to be a neat mount when your taxi man is done with it.

Good thing you had enough gun! But I have to admit, the last one I dusted failed to digest 120 grains from a 25-06. One does want them very very very dead, before considering approaching and looking down a hole to attempt retrieval. Congrats on a big one, they make a beautiful mount.

Shot one in self defense here in Idaho with the bow while antelope hunting a few years ago, was trying to sneak up on a herd in a ditch and he came running at me, stopped at about 10 yds and I hemmed and hawed for a moment but he didn't seem to be backing down and that was closer than I wanted to be to a badger, unfortunately though to keep them here in Idaho you have to have a furbearer license so I thought it best to leave him lay

years ago when I was 14 , had just got drivers license and was driving parents buick down a gravel road ,a badger ran across the road in front of us. naturally we jumped out and stoned him to death.(you could do that back then, folks weren't such nancys)

picked him up and threw him in cars trunk to skin when we got home. when arrived home ,popped the trunk and there was one angry badger snarling at us. so we threw a rope around him and took it in the backyard and shot it with a 22.

badgers are one tough animal
