Will Badgers come to a predator call? If so what distress call would you use?
Thank you.

Just a reminder, it is illegal to hunt badger in WA. The only legal method of take is by trapping.:yeah:

Humptulips and Rainer 10, I proudly and sorrowfully can claim I no longer live in King Inslee Kingdom. Where Washington has been my home for the past 61 years. In just 32 days and counting I will officially be a Montana Resident. Out here Badgers are considered a pest and can be trapped and hunted year round. I have some new activity on my property so this evening I plan on convincing them that this is not a good place to reside.
Hey I saw your location. I just don't want to see someone get in trouble for making the assumption it was OK in WA.
Also, it is not a result of a left leaning government or populace. The law has not changed since when I first I started hunting and trapping,1966

Congrats on the move and glad to hear it is legal there. I was surprised and disappointed to hear it was illegal here when I looked into it. I am overrun with badgers on my property. A new batch of babies just showed up. Three more little guys to look for a home to tunnel out.
Best of luck getting rid of yours.

Sounds like a good reason to take the online trappers course. So you can get a cage trap and see if you can catch them. Study for a bit then take it, maybe takes a hr / hr and a half.

Badger's have a beautiful coat of Fur. With some luck you may even score a Double. :tup:

In my experience with badgers, you could get out and yell “hey badger!”, and it would come to whoop your @$%.
:yeah:
Hard a pair charging/chasing me in 12” stubble :chuckle: could barely see them except when they’d hit the tire tracks. Three guys running zig zag trying to make it back to the pickup.
