I forgot to add this in my last post,are there any outfitters for badger hunting, i would like to add a badger or two to my trophy room.

i usually shoot them as varmits when hunting prairie dogs

Remember you can hunt them in Wyoming year round if you buy the $400 trapping liscense.

If you don't you can go to jail.

Unfortunately they are considered furbearers in Kansas and thus have a season. I do not know of any outfitters.

If I get a nice varmit hunting in the Fall when the pelts get prime or I usually get 3-4 trapping I'll send you him out just pay the shipping.

They are considered varmints in Nevada and can be hunted 365/year without a license, even if you are a non-res. A lot and I mean a lot are found on the ranches of Northern Nevada. Contact the F&G office in Wells or Elko and they can probably hook you up with lots of info. If it was me, I'd fly into SLC and rent a car. With some research, this should be a w/e hunt.

What is the F&G office.

Fish and Game. If you are over over 21 and interested in trapping beavers on the same trip, PM me. I'll get you some numbers to those ranches, too.

My Badger experience was not a hunt but rather a find. While going to our family's annual campsite, we found a freshly run over Badger. Rigamortus had not set in yet and the only supperficial wound was a protruding testicle...SCORE! Took it to a local taxedermist to flesh and salt the hide, we collected it on the way home. Unfortunetly, it was found in July when the temp was 96 degrees so the coat wasn't stellar. The kids loved every moment of it, what a cool find. Our family tree does, in fact branch, I just believe in recycling what's around us, including a 5 yr old, freshly run over badger...is that so wrong?
