Good trap check the other day. Did pick up a rooster with my 28 ga that happened to run into a tiny slough while I was in between sets. Seems like I need to clear out badgers to get to coyotes. They are hell on my sets. Picked up 4 in the last two checks. Got permission on another 6000 acres to rifle hunt after the neighbors found out I was trapping coyotes. Could trap those acres after deer season if I was so inclined but I'd rather start calling.
This guy was in my backyard yesterday. I'd put in some sets if I wouldn't catch every neighborhood dog.

Are badger pelts worth anything ?

Awesome, great shooting!
Badgers used to be used for parka trim as the fur didn't break with the frost from your breathing when you caught a fur badger, the hair badgers were used in making artist paint brushes. They are hard to skin and need fleshed and flat stretched.

Badger bristles were also the preferred choice for making shaving soap brushes as they are tough and will last a long time.

These badgers probably aren't worth much. I'm really trying to get rid of a few predators on my in laws farm to help out the nesting birds and deer. We've trapped over 25 raccoons off 40 acres and I've picked up 4 badgers three coyotes and a skunk within a half mile of the home place. There's fur everywhere as no one traps anymore.
