Looking Badger Traps in Calgary Area

[openfire]

Hey guys,
I got my resident license this year with the intention of only going after coyote and rats, and had 12 acres to work on.
Over 3 weekend I had a bit of success with fox's and coyotes.

Anyway one of the farmers asked me to help him with a badger problem, he is being overrun.

Can anyone recommend some traps or tips?

Also if you have some for sale I would be very interested, the season closes in 14 days for our area.

Thank you

Looking for body traps that is…

Plastic or wooden boxes for cubbies with muskrats for bait, a shot of skunk in the back and a 220 or 160 in front. You can even watch a Ryan video of the wooden box set.

100X better than the idiotic corral set in the manual. The bad thing is having a badger laying there dead in the hot sun. Too bad steel foot traps aren't legal for badger, they are very humane, they are by far the very best.

If you're stuck you can drive here, actually I'm coming your way tomorrow. PM me if you want, probably have both Bridger 220s and Duke 160s.

If you don"t have cattle , use a 280 or 330 ?? That,s what I use .

I don't have boxes or cubbies but I do put the body grip over the hole with shot gophers in it any meat will work. And yes Marty is right you gotta check em or you will have a stinky badger Ballon.
