Got a chance to run the line with my daughter today. This was an exceptional catch circle.

How long does it take them to do something like that.
Pretty impressive with only one foot.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Would be cool if we could keep one here in Wisconsin but some of us think it's not worth having a season on them.

Not very long. They can dig straight down in a hard packed gravel road faster than it you can dig soft dirt with a sharp spade. eek


As fast as a beaver can repair a broken dam, it couldn't keep up with a badger that was intent on tearing it out. laugh

Watched one from my tree stand years back a few hundred yards away you could still see the dirt flying up in that hay field,

typical badger doughnut. i released one years back, and it went down into its doughnut, and started digging. just kept going down and down, kicking the dirt up behind itself. totally disappeared in about 30 seconds. theyre amazing animals for sure.

You could tether a badger in your garden and save on buying a rototiller.

I had a trail cam out about 200 yards from this spot and caught the badger walking through about 2 o’clock in the morning. I checked traps after church this morning about 10:30 am. So top end this took him 8 and 1/2 hours.

I ran one down on a colt that needed some learnin' one time. At first it bayed up and prepared to fight but when it figured out we weren't gonna jump on it the thing dug a fox hole, climbed in and flipped around, then grinned at us in about 2 mins flat.

She might have been snarlin instead of grinnin- you know how modern women are

They'll do it overnight every time and they will even do it into frozen ground. They are the master excavators.

I hate that. Badger remakes are a pain. They can move a lot of dirt in no time flat

Had a couple in Wyoming dig the earth anchor out, they both were too busy digging to realize they could leave
