Perhaps an Australian parallel- our wombats cant really hurt you unless you grab them, but they're tough bastards and a 243 is good medicine.

I don't know about UK badgers, but the ones here in the US are mean as hell, kinda like wolverines. http://www.msu.edu/~willso11/images/...res/badger.jpg

Just let it live? Sorry I just have a soft spot for predators. I hate bunnies. Also what a cool animal to watch. Are you affraid its going to attack you or someone in the family. IDK call me the whimp but if I could Id let it live. Im a fan of bad ass things.

Use your bow, now that would be bragging rights!!! Send pics when your done...

squirrelbaster · 04-09-2008, 06:20 PM

id use my sks and not stop shooting it till i was out of ammo! and i dont mean ammo in the mag, i mean until i used up al the ammo i owned!!
only thing i hate more than badgers are ferrits! i once dumped a girl becouse of her ferrits! i hate them with a burning itching passion!

elmer fudd · 04-09-2008, 06:34 PM

ya they are very mean just one thing i have to go by its hole all the time now that it is summer. so should i keep my .22 pistol on me when i go by it? oh and by the way anybody that does know about my pistol i couldnt shoot it very well but yesterday i figured out how to shoot it i can now hit a steel target thats about the size of a quarter from about 20 feet not very good but its a start.

texnmidwest · 04-09-2008, 07:04 PM

At close range #6 in a 12g should do the trick. That is...if you decide to wimp out and shoot it.

elmer fudd · 04-09-2008, 07:36 PM

so when do they come out? when it starts to get dark?

ArkansasHunter · 04-09-2008, 07:42 PM

Why don't you just call the Game Warden and see if they'll catch it and relocate it.
I suppose all the hunting seasons are all closed every where ?
That thang kinda of reminds me of HERBERT so let it alone and too it's prolly fidd'in to lay babies.
Sneak up to the hole with a toe sack and catch it, might make a good pet someday.

umm please do not sneak up on a mama badger and try to catch it in a bag, that is a BAD idea. use a trap or somthing please if your going to try and catch it. i still say just shoot it.

Maybe we're made of sterner stuff over here in Aus, but that just looks like a fat stripy little fox- really don't get what the fuss is about. Unless you mess with its hole I really couldnt see that thing having a go at a person.
