Went to town yesterday I crossed the interstate bridge not far from the house and boom a fresh badger hole in the ditch fresh tracks after a snowfall. I’m shocked they moved in this subzero weather but I’ll take it. After I got back home I went over and set 2 snares found 2 more holes one would take a 220 nicely (2 foot trench leading to a hole). Went out to check all my sets today and stopped to set a 220 and this guy was looking at me. 15 hour catch LOL

Found 2 sets of 3 badger holes today again moving in subzero is not common, out eating corn and beans it looks like.

Excellent , some times it's crazy when some animals run.
I had guy call yesterday and I caught a skunk in below 0 temperature.
But it was under his porch, warm air coming out from crawl space.


Let me sugar coat this

They breed then the pups don’t start to develop for a couple months is what I read a while ago but they birth in the spring.

Maybe I can hit 20 this year, going scouting in the morning to see what I can find will check out a few fields I have skipped this year so far.

Up here we wear fur trapper hats in the winter. Marten, otter, beaver. Seen a badger hat once. Nice hat, durable fur. What do you get for a badger?

$50 to $80 depending on size and color and how they want them done private sales mostly I could sell 30 today if I had them the farmers/ranchers hate the mound makers here.
