Breacher don't pacify the situation we got Taft all fired up. I'd bet he is one badger sighting away from making a great accidental when animals attack video.
Me and some friends have caught them before on my buddies ranch in Mackay Idaho. You just dump a ton of water down their hole and 9 times out of 10 they come out real mad. Then you just grab them by the back of the neck and they cant do anything kind of like a cat. My friend caught a baby one once after killing the mom on the ranch and brought it home. It became a family pet. Coolest pet ever. Badger wrangling is super fun, especially after a few too many beers.
Oh, I believe the part about having a pet. The dumping water down there hole and catching them as they come flying out interests me!
That wasn't the pet. That one was wild. As long as you keep a good grip on the back of their head they cant really do anything. My friend had an old flat bed pick up with a huge water tank at his ranch. You just park it with the valve over the hole and let it flow. Badgers are not aquatic animals and will usually come out very quick! Their holes have two ways in and out so someone has to be at the other end in case he comes out that way.
We found the vid on my friends phone, how do I post it? It's kind of hard to see, but at first you can see me holding on to its tail
