Had the guy I sell my skulls to come down to spend the day. He catches a few coons but has never caught any predators and was interested in learning.
Very first set we were greeted with a huge pile of dirt with a badger peering at us from the hole from which the dirt came from. After he took some pictures we hurried off to run the rest of the line which produced 2 coyotes giving me 60 so far this season. I showed him how to skin ,flesh, and board the coyotes before he had to head out.....Good day with a good friend and a barrel of laughs.

Way to go, Big Bad John! You are a very caring and sharing young man! Thanks for all you do. My son, Austin, met you and was impressed by you. He and his wife are both professors at a University in Ohio and doing super well. University is spoiling them rotten! haha
Keep up your great work! sounds like a red letter day you had with your friend!

Austin impressed me also Marc. Fine young man you raised there. I'm glad he's doing well.
Kirk around here badgers are more of a novelty. Not near as plentiful as in Kansas but farmers hate them just as much. The levee failures in the 93 floods was directly due to badger holes.
This was another typical brownish Mo. badger, not like those pretty silvers that come from the western states.
On a better note the sell of my coyote, fox, and beaver skulls along with coon bones pretty much covered my fuel bill up to this point. Gotta love those low gas prices.

He cleans and whiten them. Then he has various outlets to market them. I have no idea what he sales them for but he gives me $5 a piece and I just cut off and freeze.

Haha That was William, not my young son, Austin. I always call them the wrong names! Funny! Lots of the forum have met William. He is the one who did the bow making demo at Laurie a few times. |
