I see them in ID & MT all the time. In any pasture that has gophers, you'll find a badger nearby. Mean suckers, but theys rather avoid people.
they are protected in Indiana because of low numbers, not protected out west.
pound for pound id say they're the second meanest critten in n. America (wolverine being first) (before the peanut gallery chimes in, i said pound for pound... but i wouldnt wanna mess with either, or a wolf or brown bear for that matter)

^This.
Im 56 years old and I've known badgers are indigenous to Indiana for as long as I can remember.
I've never seen one in the wild, but reports of them, along with newspaper articles/pictures have verified their presence here for decades.
Mean little suckers alright, but so anti-social you almost never see them.
