Badger control

[binthere]

Be patient. They are there for a reason. Moles. gophers. They will move on. Better than poison.

What would you tie the trap to? they look like strong little b@#$%#s.

A properly set 280 will not allow for much struggle as they are a quick kill trap. I still tie off on a fence post though.

This talk about badgers reminds me about my grappa. Always a curious fellow. One day he saw a badger scurrying along. So he takes a rock and being that he was a good pitcher in his youth beans the thing in the head and knocks it cold. Walks over, rolls it over and proceeds to inspect it. Checks it’s long sharp claws and teeth and fur. Badger starts to wake so he rolls it over and it goes on it’s way. Oh I miss my grappa.

I suspect that without badgers we would be overrun by gophers. They can come and live here cause gophers are making a real mess of yard, hay field, runway, etc.

Come and get them!

Gophers is part of the food source.
Not bad around here. But the moles in the light land make for a nightmare. Mole hills and badger holes. Stepping out of the grain truck in the dark,only to drop your leg in a badger hole .you could break your leg. Lucky the wet years
Seemed to drown out most of the moles.but the are on there way back.
Big tires , 4 wheel drives and watch your step. About all you can do
