It has been a while, but I snare them occasionally. I'll hang on to one if it doesn't get too messed up by the snare. Heck last year I got four of them boogers and only had one mounted. There may still be some around, they are cool mounts.
No problems whatsoever with what you are asking for, as I think they are an amazing animal and a mount would look very cool, but a badger is one think I don't think I would pull the trigger on.
I have no issue with people killing them for whatever their reasons. To me they are simply one of the neatest animals around. A giant, fat, ground dwelling weasel that will take on something twice its size.
When you finish it please post photos of the mount.
There's one just south of you runnin around with half it's small intestine draggin on the ground. Just don't piss him off, he's not that scared of humans
I've only seen one in Texas. I was at the ranch last year ( 6 miles north of Cisco) waiting on a deer to show when one big sucker ran about 10 yards in from of my blind, I was shocked, I sure wasn't expecting that.
Usually trap a few each year, an I should have some customers bring me quite a few as well. If I get a nice one and your still looking around dec or so I'll keep you in mind.
