I've called a couple badgers in on accident over the years, but from what I've seen, it's nothing you could ever count on. Some might consider it a little unethical, but borrow a pickup from the farmer along with a 1,000 gallon water trailer, he probably has one. Get your 12 bore and stand in the back of the pickup after you start pumping water down the hole (run the pump at full throttle)....I'll stress standing in the box of the pickup is important, 'cause when they come out of their hole, they come out pissed. A long link of firecrackers can work also, just not as consistant as water. After the hole fills up, let the water run yet for a minute or so, if nothing comes out then spade the hole full of mud, flag it and move on to the next hole. You might do this for a trailer or two of water, but you never know. Granted it's not as exciting as sorting out a wounded cape buffalo in the scrub, but it can be, just stand by the hole when the water is pumping in. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
