Title: Badger?
Post by: Elkslayer on January 20, 2016, 05:10:59 PM: Does anybody here have any experience with badgers and cage traps? I have a friend that has a couple hanging around that I'm think of going after.
Curious what I'd use for bait and how to go about setting the cage up. I'll be doing some searching on the internet tonight, just thought I'd check here first.

I'd like to see a cage trap that one guy could carry that is still strong enough to keep a badger from tearing it apart

Pm me, I'd loan you a trap to try out if you don't think you have a strong enough one.
