Someone told me once if you can "bury" your hand in the back of a badger's fur, its probably worth selling as fur. I've only sold 1 digger at auction. It was a Nov catch of average to large size and not overly pale. The fur did seem thick so I put it up. The price started at $15 but ended up at $21. I was ok with that. Not a $50+ score but it wasn't an extra large silvertip either. There seems, at least in the past, a pretty fast drop off at NAFA from those really nice badger prices down to the $10-15 range. I may have to do some occupied hole hunting myself later this winter. Its been a while since I scored on a digger...

It seems like if I set within 100 yards of a fresh dig this year that badger will work that set, the one yesterday left hair in one set and was caught in the other set 10 feet away, not bad fur and white backed. I had some spring badger and some fall badgers last year and the buy liked the fall ones better then the spring ones so go figure. LOL

Yep cut the huts or use a ice auger with baited conis is my favorite just need to wait 4-5 days between checks or they won't work the sets.
