That's entirely up to you. I'm a varmint/predator hunter/shooter and I see nothing at all wrong with shooting them. I have asked ranchers for permission to shoot ground squirrels and when they give it they say "while you're at it, kill every badger you see." There are hundreds, if not thousands...

Yes they do.

During their breeding season they can almost put a skunk to shame as far as stink goes. Especially a big old male badger. I've actually gagged from the smell and if you get it on you it's very hard to get off, you can smell it 3 or 4 days later. I've never had one act real aggressive but I've...

What part of southern Idaho are you in?

He cleans them, re-sells them. Makes necklaces, etc. from claws.

No, badgers are kind of hard to skin and they're not really worth much. I did find a guy that will buy the heads and feet. He pays as much for a head as you can get for put up hides.

After that hard winter a couple years ago they were kind of scarce but they seem to be making a come back. We've got 20 between us this year. I've shot them with 218 Bee, .204, .222, and 6 m/m. Gary has used his .22/250 and 6 m/m.

My Halloween day coyote, male, 26.6 lbs. .204 Ruger, 40 gr. V-Max at 40 yds. Took out whole left shoulder blade. Leg was dangling by hide. Called with Fox pro and various sounds. Showed up at around 20 min.

I just want to try to make it feel like a real gun. Shooters spent 60 years getting away from two stage triggers now everybody has to have one.

I think I'm going to wind up putting a Boyd's stock and Timney trigger on mine.

Good trade!

I have Ruger American .223. Good gun, accurate but I just can't warm up to it. Reminds me of carrying my b b gun a kid.

Lol, bring her along, we'll get her one too!

I don't think I would eat one although I know a guy that did. He said he cut it up and cooked it in a crock pot. Doesn't sound very appetizing to me. You can skin them for the fur. They're kind of hard to skin and not worth much. Not sure but right now I think they're worth 4 or 5 dollars...
