Shot a Badger w/bow. Been huntin over 30 yrs, first one I've ever seen.

Def want to do some kind of mount in it, Any of you have one mounted? Would like some ideas.

Awesome
Congrats

dude those things are protected in Texas! You didn't get the memo?


JK..............gonna be a cool mount!

Made mine into a rug, looks awesome on the end table.

Thanks! Would like to see a pic

That's cool Ive never seen one anywhere

I've never seen one in the woods. Cool!

If its the only one you've ever seen then why shoot it?

This is after all a hunting forum. Why question someone killing something on a hunting forum. Good job awesome looking critter

I realize where I'm at. It's not a game animal so that's why I posted what I did. Plus this America and I can post what the heck I want.

I do like your siggy though.

Awesome.

man those things are neat...they've been seen on our place, just not by me. I'd love to see one live.

They make beautiful full body mounts. Look up some pictures of some. Id go this route over the rug, but thats just me.

Definitely worth getting mounted. Those are awesome looking creatures.

shot this one with a bow north of Junction.


this was the mount I decided on but they more I look at it the more I don't like the eyes.

very cool

I was helping a buddy do some taxidermy a few years ago, and ended up airbrushing a badger open mouth rug mount, I decided then, if I ever got an opportunity to kill one, I would, so that I could mount it, and make some badger stew, I hear it's delicious.

Congrats on the Kill!!! Mount it but you can keep that Stew

Do you really feel the need to respond to a question like that? Congrats on your kill!! I shot one with a 22-250 3 years ago. Little buggers stink!!

They do stank!!! haha
And I was planning on sending the stew to 4Weight

Cool, If I see one his DRT

very cool..congrats..post pics of the mount when done

Ive never seen a 200" deer, so if I shoot one please dont get mad.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

you started hunting when you were 3? j/k, nice kill and be sure to post pics when you get it back from the taxidermist

Awesome looking animal. Cograts on your harvest.

Let us know how that bagger stew turns out!

First one I've ever seen , shot him with a .204

How dare you!!!!! lol!!
looks awesome!!

The only badger I have ever seen was in Reeves county, west of Pecos. Is it just me, or does Bocephus 1975 look like a younger version of John Anderson...justa a swingin'?

Nice kill! There's not much (non-game animals) that doesn't get shot when I'm hunting. I stick lots of stuff!

I've got a few on my place, I may only see them once a year. I walked up on one a few years back and it paid me no attention what so ever, I watched it dig out its burrow for half an hour from about 20 feet away. Brave suckers.

Be sure and use a reliable and good taxi, getting the eyes and mouth right are a trick. Congrats by the way.

Boy I would love to see one! And if I did I'd definitely being ground checking it so I could get it on the wall ASAP!

Nice kill. I have killed a bunch of them and never once thought about having a mount done of those stinky things.

That is funny, I traded a bushmaster .204 to the taxi to have my badger mount done that I killed with a bow.

DUDE.. THAT THING IS CRREPING ME OUT.... THE EYES FOLLOW ME!

actually I'd say I been hunting since I was 6, killed my first deer at 7, first turkey the following spring, and I'm now 38. I was lucky enough to grow up hunting with my dad, grandad, and uncle. thanks for compliment! I will prob mount myself, if I can get my old buddy I used to do taxidermy with let me use his facilities.

haha, if you only knew about my John Anderson impersonation of that song.
I also do "could you catch a falling star".

Hopefully u got more than just the badger mounted for that rifle !

I will kill the next one I see just to balance out the one you see and don't kill.

Bad [censored]. I'd like to shoot one myself. Never seen one. Saw a porcupine once. Kind of freaked me out til I realized what it was

Ok I dont think its legal to mount yourself in Texas lol. Just kidding. Nice badger

looks young ... needed to grow a few more years ...

Nice bow kill

That is awesome. Congrats!

Haha, yeah but the badger mount was not cheap. The taxi is going to remount my dad's B&C mule deer he killed back in the 70's he never had scored until a couple of years ago. I just need a good mulie cape.

It's true, he does. He's in the Bocephus club too!!!!

Pretty sure I saw two badgers outside of Junction on my dad's place this week. They showed up early and I was only able to see outlines and no real colors. They way they came running in and then ran off was just like a badger though.

Kill'em, liked to broke every bone in my body jumping off a ladder trying to get in my box @ 5:30 in the morning a few years ago. Those things have an attitude.

nice job. you can take it to north texas tannery in denton and they will tan that thing out for ya.
