Badgers, anyone?

Recommended Posts

Whoring around the internet, came across this kid. Balls of steel, brains of stones.

Good looking coat on the thing.... did you tan it or mount it ? I like the darker colors.

Tanned the hide for now, might get it mounted later on. About 9,500 in the elevation is where I got him, literally in the aspens.

Was a funny story for me the reader. Not so much for the writer that almost had his testicles shredded... Lol

I sent this to a friend up in Idaho that I know has grabbed a few by the scruff of the neck and asked Travis if he was related to this kid. I guess a few other people tagged him also. Not something I would do but then Travis is well north of six foot and three hundred pounds. They grow them country boys big in Idaho.

One time at my folks place. I was checking on why all the animals were going crazy. I went out near a back shed and was snooping around. Sandals, shorts, no shirt…. Gosh dang badger cake from around the air compressor and had me locked up in the shed for quite some time! Before we all had cell phones.

First critter I've ever trapped was a badger. San Bernardino mountains in southern California. Just south of Big Bear. I think I was around 14 at the time. Tough critters for sure. And even tougher to skin. Pound for pound they hold their own. Thanks for sharing Bill.
