[runniNgunnin]

does anyone know the regs/rules on badgers? thanks guys, i couldnt find anything in the rules....

[Gutpile]

Cant hunt them. Dang it.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

only trappers can harvest them, It is in the regs you gotta look close.

[caseyv21]

its illegal to hunt them, but if your a farmer you can get permission to hunt them from the government if theyv'e damaged your property

[runniNgunnin]

got yeah, whoops...

[tlbradford]

If you want to shoot one, head to Boise.  That is the badger capital of the world.

[runniNgunnin]

well, i know were they are, but i accidently thought it was a rockchuck or something, since it was a younger one from a distance. Ive seen them since, and now i know...ITS A BADGER... so yeah

[addicted]

they hunt them like crazy over here. i just showed angelface a dead one on the side of the road the other day cuz she hadnt seen one yet.  they get to be big mean suckers.

i almost stepped on one this year deer hunting, scared the hell outa me. the farmers wanted me to shoot from diggin holes in their fields

I was run up a tree by a badger...N.E. Wa.  I was only 16yrs then, now 40yrs old.   Them there critters are nothing to play with.  I would rather grab a tiger by the tail...

while we are on the topic, today i took a fellow member (Daryl)from Alaska coyote hunting, in moxee. After he had left on his way, me and my aunt decided to check out this old timers "homested" that had recently died a few years ago. He lives out in the sage brush, with dirt floors, and no running water, old broke down cars everywhere.... you know the type. THERE IS A FREAKIN COLONY OF BADGERS LIVING THER NOW.... is everyone sure you cant hunt/trap these guys at all???!!!

[cackle]

you can trap them if you have a trappers license

[Machias]

You can sure enough trap them, they are not hard to get into a box trap.  You should use fresh bait, they don't particularly like tainted bait.

[runniNgunnin]

what all would it take to get the trapper license??

[Michelle_Nelson]

You have to go through a trappers training class and pass the test with a 90% I believe.  It's sorta like a Hunters Education Class.  It's a 7 hour class or right around their.  They just had one at Cabela's on October 25th. 

Went to the Cabela's Class and got my card.  Went and picked up my Trappers License yesterday when I went to renew my Taxidermy License. 

I'd love to get my hands on a couple nice Badger.
