Thank you to you guys that control the varmit population. I do shoot the occasional porcupine and weasel or badger over the years and obviously a few yotes every year. But you guys are are really putting your time in on them and I appreciate that commitment. 
FYI: Weasels and badgers are classified as furbearers and may only be taken with a trapping license while using approved methods listed in the trapping regs.
Just because someone decides to call an animal a "varmint" doesn't mean it's open season to kill them upon sight.
Just saying.
Correct with one exception. Weasels and Badgers can be taken if they are considered a nuisance animal like killing your chickens or burrowing under your house.
Shoot one for the fur, taxidermy or for the heck of it. You broke the law.
You can dispatch legally trapped animals with a firearm.
