I ran in to a guy with a pitbull,a very large pitbull. the dog is very friendly and comes right up to get his head scratched, when he turnes his head I can see the right side of his face is pretty much chewed up, one eye gone, mutilated. I ask the guy, what happened to your dog? I mean, *censored* it looks like someone attacked him with a chainsaw? He says, well that damn dog used to have a habit of sticking his head down holes, he found one with a badger, this guy says that damn badger grabed his dog and wouldnt let go, pulled him half down that hole and put a hurt on that poor old pitbull, he tried to help him get away but what the hell are you going to do, the badgers down a hole and not in the mood to come out or let go of the dog, says that badger had him for what must have been 7-8 minutes, poor old dog screaming bloody murder. tough little basterds.

You can't shoot them, but you can trap them.

Sweet Pic. I had a close encounter with a Badger while Spring Turkey hunting with my Bow. I was using a Gobble call. When i was done I just happened to turn around and there was a BIG Badger staring at me. I ranged him at 15 yards. I pulled my Face mask off and he backed off to 30 yards. he stopped and turned and just watched me. He thought I was a Gobbler. lol. Here in Lincoln County, We have them all over the place. I stepped into a small Badger hole in the same vicinity and slightly twisted my Ankle. So I knew there was a Badger in the area. The Hillside looks like it was hit with a air strike. holes everywhere. My Worry is not the Badger, But the Badger holes. You can't see them when they are surrounded by High grass.

Good point.  You can't hunt them with firearms while they are free ranging, but once live-trapped can be dispatched with a firearm - unless that has changed recently!

It hasn't.
