What do you mean this pos is broke down . I ain't walking home

The offending hole that was full and level last August at that time we added two Bobcat buckets of dirt. It had been about 4 years since we had filled it. With all the rain this year I am thinking it settled in. This hole is where I killed that badger. It must have been one **** of a badger mansion to swallow that much dirt. Don't look like much in the picture but around 30 x 36 x 30

Midwest version of crocodile hunter 😀

Sleeping with a badger qualifies you for toughman of the year 😀

Badger not beaver 😀

Tannerite in the basement but unless I am wrong it takes a high velocity round to set it off. That would hard down in a hole or at least unsafe. So can it be detonated some other way ?

I know we have a couple of groundhogs close by but they have never moved the den. Coyotes by the load and bobcats are started getting a population the last few years. Badger, only the one unless this turns out to be redug they are proof grizzlies mated with racoons

Nope no weights on that one

A few years back I eliminated one badger that had built homes in a hayfield. We have filled in all his holes , last year his big den had settled down and required more dirt. This morning while raking hay I hit one that swallowed an 11 x 16 front. Threw me up and out of the seat with a hard landing and sheared a steering arm key. Not a big problem to fix but now I am glad the usual raking tractor had a hiccup yesterday and got swapped out. If the little tractor would have been on there it would have probably been worse than Hobbyfarms front tube. If I only had some dynamite I would make sure there wasn't a badger living in there then fix the hole 😀 BTW that badger was the only one I have ever seen in my 60 years in this part of the world.

Lost a neighbor like that a few years back. Didn't think it was possible but his replacement is way way worse.

yep The one that kept me out of hog lot was an old girl when I was born The other one was probably a pup when I was born because we lost her when I was around 11 or 12

We always had good livestock dogs growing up but they came and went as they wanted around the house. It was just a really old farmhouse and we didn't think anything of it except on the occasion when one of them would go for a roll in the hog lot. Two things stick with me, a border collie that would bar me from the gate when I was a toddler and the border collie that stayed in my lap for days I think when Mom died. [ I was 5 } I prefer dogs over people most days, but I have had to restrain dogs for their own well being.

Could have titled it POO IN SPACE

Read today that our governor, a public critic of federal aid , signed up for his forgivable loans for his cattle farm. Pretty sure the radio report said they were already forgiven.

IDENTIFIES AS A SUBMARINE That should keep unwanted passengers away 😀
