So here it is. This past weekend at the Chamberlin Ranch Traditional Archery shoot I was out wandering the hills when I came across this carcase. From the teeth, markings that are left, and the size I'm guessing it is an American Badger... but I honestly am not sure. I have never seen a badger anywhere in California, though I know we have them.

Anybody else want to take a guess at what this is? Chupacabra maybe? :)

Christian-- Jocelyn got a confirmation from a friend of our's, that there is indeed badger's out there...:thumbup: that would explain a lot of the big hole's that were scattered about the property...

hopefully the skull will still be there next year... that'll be a nice one to have..:)

That would explain the holes hahaha I completely forgot to bury it for next year! Good chance it will still be there, as long as a cow doesn't crush it.
 
Yep thats an American badger all right,are they a protected species over there,as they are here, and you can get done for possessing any body part :eek:

Needless to say, there infecting our dairy herds with Bovine TB,animal rights :jerkit:

If you've ever had a Dachshund and seen the ferocity those little dogs have you know where they got it. They were bred to go into holes after Badgers.:eek:
They've obviously got more guts than I have.
