My uncle shot a badger in the head after it kept following him and not letting him walk back to his truck. He put the dead badger in with the bag of live snapping turtles he had caught. Then he realized why the badger was so persistent - there was a young badger up the trail. He caught the young badger.
Driving down the road in his hatch-back he heard a commotion in the back. The adult badger had only been knocked out! Tore through the sack and now he’s got a badger and two or three snapping turtles loose in the back end!
He finally killed the badger with a shovel iirc. The small badger was raised as a pet!
