I totally agree with ya starving dog wonder if they will tell there kids about the level they passed when the where x years old.                                                                                                           And you can always use the old roto-rooter trick. Hook 6 feet of barb wire on a drain snake and fish it down the hole. Then crank the handle till your target it tangled in the wire and pull him out. I have never done it only heard of it done by people and coyote tourneys. And for all I know could be a b/s story. Good luck with the badger they sure do make a mess.
