They are fearless and meaner than a junk yard dog...... One of the few animals down here I have respect for.. Our dog took one on..... and he has never been the same.... The badger would try for his neck or his hamstring... finally I sat on the dog an son #1 got him ran over with the tractor....

I was trapping prairedogs with little traps that were used for muskrats. Went to check one day and had a badger by the back toe. I didn't think I wanted to wrassle with him to turn him loose, so shot him in the head with a 22 pistol. I kept shooting him every once in awhile, for about an hour, before he finally quit breathing. Dang tuff critters.

There are supposedly true accounts of a badger whipping a grizzly bear.

I don't shoot them as they are not a bother around here.

At the neighbors prairedog town, last year, there were 3 different ones who were going around and evidently cleaning up the prairedogs we were shooting. They sure never bothered us and didn't seem to pay us much mind.

By the way, I got to see a mountain lion up between Spearfish and Whitewood the other evening. Kind'a fuzzy and cute. Guy I was with was bemoaning the fact that we didn't have a gun! :lol:

You have to whack them on the end of the nose to do them in quick. I only shoot them if they are in an area I don't want dug up.

Glendive paper had a picture of a big cat that was killed on the RR track between Mildred and Fallon. There had been reports of a big cat seen in that area.

Guess there is more than one way to skin a cat. :shock:

NR: Yes Badgers can be tamed; Once when I was working at our north ranch we went over to see one of the neighbours, wondered why his yard was totalled; looked like a piece of swiss cheese! Well he had a badger pup that he picked up on the road after it's mother was killed. It was quite affectionate and loved to rub against peoples legs while circling like mad. The badger and the guys blue heeler never seemed to tire of endless games of tag but seemed to know better than to get each other mad! Phil called his badger "Digby" and believe me that yard was testimonial to the digging power of his pet. It wasn't too long after that that Digby dissapeared; never had the heart to tell the old boy that our hired man had shot a badger that was digging holes in the horse pasture.
