Why are they a pain on your property?

I am curious because we have property in Snag Canyon.  After the fire we have a ton of Marmots/rockchucks.  We also now have badgers, I guess they like to eat rockchucks.

The ecosystem has greatly changed since the fire and I am wondering what the drawbacks of some of these new critters are.

I know the rockchucks defecate all over my excavator, dozer and dump truck.  >:(

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

They DIG under the sprinkler wheels and excavate the $&@& outta alfalfa fields trying to get ground squirrels it's easier on the fields if you just shoot the squirrels! We never shot the Badgers even though they were a pain but we would cuss them out pretty good. One time we watched a badger keep 3 coyotes at bay off of a road kill whitetail doe pretty impressive

Got it, I have forestland so no sprinklers.

Can you shoot badgers or only trap them?

I was spraying thistles on my property, saw the dog jump up and a grey object jump up as well, called the dog off and went over to find the badger in a standoff.  Property is just north of Ellensburg in Snag Canyon, between Wilson Creek road and Robins Road.  Badger was within 100 yards of where the snag canyon fire started.

Those are real trophies if you can shoot one in another state and get it made into a rug or full mount.
