I have only see two in my life, both in south Texas. The first one, we used to see regularly, his den was about 100 yards from our camp. The second one, I saw while I was hunting one afternoon. That was a huge badger, it was stalking a javelina. I was hoping to get to see it attack the javelina, but the javelina realized something was up and took off. That second badger, dwarfed the one we used to see near camp.

Caught 8 or 10 a year in south Texas using snares. Live oak and karnes county areas. Looked like a bomb went off under the fence. You always knew what you had. Even had a male in the hole with a female one time. He took off when I walked up, like feet away. Craziest thing I’ve seen. Also they hunt sometimes with coyotes as a team. Buddy watch a couple yotes and a badger play in the road in out of a blind. Thought they were fighting at first but after a few minutes it was clear they were playing.

I’ve killed several in South Texas. Called one in while hunting coyotes. Snared a few. And killed a few riding around.

Stinky little bastages. Almost as bad as a skunk. $1100 full body mount with a base!

My mom has two and one is a killer. She's always got her head stuck under something looking for mice. She's a go getter. Worries me though because she ain't scared of snakes either.
He is a family dog too, so not sure I want him as aggressive as his Russian bloodline, but I still thought it was pretty cool.

He was not huge but a nice say medium to large male.
We later caught a huge, 39 lb tom bobcat in the reset trap.
Note the coyote tracks, they checked him out in the trap.
Husband case skinned it out and tube skinned the front legs with feet on it. He did a great job skinning the legs and front feet and removing the foot bones. The tanning turned out great, Moyle did it.
He has another to do when it thaws out. I'll try to remember to measure it when on the stretcher.
I've only caught one badger while trapping. That son of a gun was digging like a mad man even while caught.

Most of the time you get a head,neck or chest shot. Unless they're running to their hole then just shoot them wherever. They'll either fall down stone dead or stop long enough you can hit them again.
