Granddaughter and a buddy and I went shooting today.
100* very light wind, full sun. We shot a ton of gophers GD was using Sons 17 HMR. We could stretch it out to 150 yards. My buddy and I were using 10/22s so 100 was a LONG shot. We all got a LOT of gophers, Josie was hitting dead on at 150+. As we were all shooting GD asked what kind of animal is running around it looks like a "small hairy pig". We swung around to see a Badger 200 yards behind us. COOL. I had here held a tiny bit high and shoot it. The WHAP sounds comes back. She hit in the spine about mid-way back. It's running around dragging it's hind quarters. She shot 4 more times hitting it once more. By the time we got out to it, it made it down a hole never to be seen again. She was bummed but was excited that SHE shot a badger. FUN DAY Keep the tomatoes happy. Till we shoot again. |

"Nice picks"
I sure wish we had been able to find the Badger. We looked around for over an hour. She is a good shot, but remember she shoots several 100 rounds a year in asst guns. I'm hoping to get her out with Lizard shooting P dogs before school starts.

Always a downer when something crawls into its hole.
One year at MYGAWDS while shooting at gophers we watched a badger chasing wildly after silly gophers. he just didn't stop for 5 minutes. I guess his battery ran down. Seem to remember that in MT you need a fur-takers license to shoot them???

Good shootin' young lady.
Dang, I wish she could have found the Badger. I'll have to look to make sure but I'm pretty sure in Wyoming badgers are furbearers.

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.
