Badger questions

Badger questions - 12/08/15 07:39 PM

Ok, so I spotted a badger while deer hunting and saw him go into his hole in the ground. How do I hunt him? Will they respond to a call? Which sound? I really want a badger for the wall.

Do they move their home location often? Because I won't be able to get back down there until after Christams and I hope he is still using the same hole.

I thought about maybe putting some meat up wind from his hole and see if that would make him come out, is that a dumb idea?

Any info is greatly appreciated as I know nothing about badgers. It is the first badger I have ever seen and I have been hunting for 27 years.

Everything I read said to place chicken or something in or next to a recently dug hole. Badgers often come back to old burrows.

Id set a snare or a leg hold trap. No need to wait him out. Go to bed and see whats up the next morning.

Of my 30+ years of calling I have called up 3 badgers . If they are in the area they will come to a call. Last one came in to a Syco Tweety
