This is why you don’t mess with country people

Point noted.
By your rationale, let's ask the dog in the "break room" story if he'd rather be humanly dispatched and consumed or hung on a porch by a leash, stabbed multiple times and then stuffed in a trash can.
I'm not saying we should ban rodeos, I'm just saying I'm cheering for the animal.

I think that maybe a stretch in the “torture” department.

To keep this civil and avoid hijacking the OP's thread any further, I digress.

Probably best if we are comparing discomfort to mortal wounds. Have a great day sir.

If you watched the video, he tried just that. Luckily the kid put him down with a 5 gallon bucket between them and was able to use the bucket to corral it when it charged him.

Moron. (it needed to be said again)

Were you a city kid?

You sound like a city kid.

Nope.
I would have flushed him out and shot him.

Y'all are fancy folks. Instead of water, I would have poured gas and then lit him up.

Is a badger hide worth anything?

I don't think the kid is a moron. I think he knows good and well the risk.

He might be bored, quick on his feet, not given to panic and a little crazy.

Anyone else read "Fearless"?

To be honest, so would I.

Stupid does stupid IMHO

Lol. It took some pretty good stones to snatch that badger out of that water.

Ive watched my older brother grab a few muskrats while swimming by in the tidal marshes when we were kids.
I just called Reno and asked if he would grab a Badger that way.
He responded, negative but ask Duke if he would?
So I called our younger brother and asked him,
He said **** that, but I bet Reno would.
Ahhhh brothers.

Both my sisters would say “no, we’d just call you!” I ain’t grabbing no badger!

Hard to skin flesh and stretch, but if you do. Great Planes hides can get you 40 to 60 bucks. The brown phase Great Basin fur might get ya 25 to 35. Semi Heavys may get 10 to 15. Flat fur might get you a few bucks. Not many buyers left though. Russia and China are both major players in the fur game. You know how that’s going. Fur has been way down since the start of Covid. Lot of guys have hung up their traps. Lot of fellows holding old stock, they have more in than they can get out. No international auctions due to travel restrictions. One longtime major fur company folded up. Only one left.

It could be an Appalachia thing. Everything is better with gas and fire.

Not with gas prices

Interesting info, I know almost all badger shaving brushes come from fur harvested in China.

Don’t know much about their domestic harvest of any fur. But I do know about ours. And I know we about can’t buy even a news paper made in America today. I imagine they (Chinese) use about everything except the breath from any resource they have. All that free labor why not ? Don’t know where my brush comes from, still useing my dads. Old Burma Shave brush and mug. Always figered it was horse or something.

That wasn’t what I’d call putting it on the ground, that was throwing it at your girlfriend/sister

Correction needed...EX-girlfriend/MAD AS HELL sister.

Is he stupid for doing this? Maybe, but at least he isn't eating Tide pods.
