How in the hell did you accomplish that? I had one dog skunked 5 times in one day, still shot a limit over her. It seems I have one epic porky event every year. As for badgers I have only run across them in the field every few years, if you don’t count how many holes I have fell in.i feel great if I only have a couple vet trips every season.
No doubt, I have had plenty of porky/ skunk incidents…. As to the badger holes, I swear if there is only one in a field I will find it
Wow. You were very lucky she didn't end up with much more serious injury.
I don't generally shoot badgers as they keep the thirteen line and pocket gophers in check. They are a PITA when they dig holes in the county roads, though. Over the years I have shot a couple that threatened me or my animals. One came out of his hole and straight at me like a Polaris missile as I walked by his hole. I wasn't messing with him or his hole, must have just woke up in a bad mood (as if badgers have any other type of mood). I was carrying a 1911 45 Auto and made a defensive shot that stopped him then & there. I would like to claim it as a feat of superior pistol skill, but it a pure luck reflex shot. Good thing too, as he was not bluffing and would have hit my legs like a chain saw...
