Nice Arizona Badger Down

Well, I was out cow elk hunting this past weekend, and I figured I'd try to get my first couple of stands in for the '09-'10 season.

I set up around some thick pine trees, and called into a little open spot, where the trees and grass were a little less abundant for some visibility. At about the ten minute mark, what popped up? A gorgeous, furry badger...

I was surprised at how small the damage was to the badger, after it took a 130 Gr. from a .270.

It was quite a rush when I saw the white striped head coming in for a free rabbit distress meal.

Last but certainly not least, check out the claws on this sucker! They were about an inch long! They have to dig somehow...

So that's my story. First stand of the new season, and I called my first badger in. Seems like a great way to start it off!

so you just called him w/ a regular rabbit ditress? huh i wouldnt have taught they would respond to that, but i guess they r predators to! were you using electronic or hand calls?

Congrats Steven, you know its interesting to see what comes into a call when you are actually out scouting or hunting for Deer or Elk. Nice pics - thanks for sharing!
 
Thanks guys!

Bamayote, I was using a regular open reed hand call. Many times, they won't respond, but if you're in the right area at the right time of the year, anything can happen. Badgers are predators too bud! After seeing those claws, I'd never want to get in a fight with one.
