They are nasty, had one chase me on a three wheeler one day after I shot it with a 22 5 or 6 times. Don't know what the odor is caused by, but they do stink. My grandpa used to have us shoot every badger we saw, if a horse steps in their hole they can break a leg pretty easy. Their fur makes some of the best winter hats and mittens you will come by, so if the pelt is in good shape and you bag a couple make yourself an Elmer Fudd hat, the claws sometimes go for a little money too.
