Coyotes
« on: March 01, 2008, 07:36:24 PM »
No coyotes yesterday or today. Gosh it was like a ghost town on the Yakima Firing Center. Only one badger, magpies and other birds. Didn't even hear one dog howl. Will try the "other" spot next time. Had a great day either way.

JDB picked up a skull which I have in the front window of my truck now  8) New ornament looks great. Looking to toast some rounds off next time.

Lets see the skull.

Arn't Badgers legal to shoot right now with a small game license?  I honestly only glanced at the small game regs so can't remember off the top of my head.

I'd like to get ahold of a nice badger for a display mount.   ;)

Should have been with me today.  I saw five of them over in the ephrata/Banks lake area.  Only two were paired up, and I could have got them both.  All 5 were easykills.  One was standing out in the middle of Banks lake on the ice.  That one might have been hard to pick up.   I swear those *censored*s know when you are packing and when you aren't.

If I had the choice of any small mammal to mount it would no doubt have to be a Wolverine.  With a nice colored Badger coming in a close second.

Michelle,
If you are still looking for a badger, I know somebody who is selling one.  It is $55 dollars shipped whole.  Let me know if you are interested and I will forward you pics and contact info.

Thanks, I bet it does. Most skulls are cool anyway, I think. Are those dark spots pellet holes on it?

I ran into a badger last year while shed hunting.  I had a 5 point elk antler in my hand and had him in the open.  I was going to take him.  Then I remembered the video tape of the badger kicking a grizzlys ass and thought better of it.  His fur was starting to shed anyway at closer observation.  He walked within 10 feet.  Sometimes I wish you could rewind life as that would have been interesting to see how that would have turned out. :chuckle:  I think he would havve handed me my sack back without the testes.

I would rather hear a rattlesnake close by than to hear that badger growl when walking through an area.  Either way I jump 4' in the air, which is pretty high for a white man.
