Badgers?

Wasn't it badger fur that was used to make the old shaving brushes?

I'll shoot or run over any badger I get a chance at. One time while haying a cousin and I killed one with a large wrench. Talk about excitement. After each throw one of us had to talk the other into diverting the badger while the other darted in to grab the wrench. A cornered badger has a definite attitude to those who are intent to cause him harm.

If you give them a hit in the end of the nose, they are toast. Killed one with a ski pole once, tap on the snoz and it was game over for him.

Badgers are pretty much fair game here in the Prairies. Once they get established, they can make a mess of a pasture. Years ago, I killed a badger with a chunk of steel rod. My two dogs had it in a pasture. I was afraid that it would kill my dogs if it got a hold, so I whacked it. It took a fair few clouts to finish it. :p
 
Ya, i noticed it was kinda stinky just layin there...
That would make sense that they are mating, there was another one i couldnt get close enough to get a clean head shot. I only had my 22 so i didnt want to shoot the poor thing 25 times and get back in the hole.

Well maybe ill find somewhere around CGY who wants them, maybe ill get out and see if i can whack a few while looking for Coyotes.

Yes I have heard that before in regards to many animals, porcupines etc etc. Supposedly bone fragments driven into the brain. When the wrench is only 18 inches long it is not my preferred time to test out a theory.
 
If taking in the winter, they make a great looking rug. Hopefully they can be skinned and sent away to be tanned. They can sure dig some big holes.
 
or they'll occupy holes meant for other things- my dad has footage of them "occupying" holes meant for telephone poles, and they've got one on a noose- and IS HE MAD- no catch and release in those days
 
Ya, the one i couldnt shoot was growling at me from its whole, wasnt sure if it was a Badger or a Grizzley Bear! lol

It would have ate some 00 buck out of my HP9 if it came out for a fight :D
