I believe I saw one or two badgers during the 45 years I lived in WI. I see that many or more every year here.

Badgers here live in open, grassy areas near/in the woods. Most frequently I see them making dens in sandy/gravelly sidehills along dirt roads.

I see one once in a while. Always like to screw with them some. They can sure ruin a set if you get one in a trap. Dig the whole place up.
