I don't see a lot of Badgers, yes, Wisconsin is the Badger State but I believe based on Lead Miners not the animal. Hard to tell here and probably why wissmiss asked, the catch circle was about a foot deep- I couldn't believe it. Not a good catch pole critter- pulled out with a shoulder shrug, I released him with a plywood board. Never have caught one before- ok if I never do again.

That pelt unfortunately has very little value at this time of year. He had more of an undercoat than I would have expected but badgers won’t be of any value for another month. Since he was good looking and some reasons I won’t go into on a public forum he gets to live on my wall. If I taxidermy skinned him I might have been able to find a buyer but it still would have been discounted. The year before last I couldn’t keep them out of my traps. I killed 18 of them in a 5 week period. Hopefully I don’t get too many. A few is plenty. Badgerman
