[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 512328, member: 21068"] Hey, good job on the pics guys! Not very often people get to see Badgers close up. They really [U]can[/U] be mean though. A few years back I was shooting at one (it was running) from the truck with a 22 pistol. He managed to get over the hill about 100 yds away before I got dialed in on him. So, I grabbed another clip and took off on foot chasing him. I managed to catch up to the big fella just right over the hill from where I'd last seen him, I was up on him before I even realized it. No sooner did he see me on his tail and he was turned around 180 and coming straight at me! Teeth showing, claws churning, growling and hissing the whole time too! That's the only time I've ever been "in retreat" and shooting at the same time. I did get him killed, but he was only about 5 yds from me at the moment. Sure am glad they aren't real big and fast, I would've been had. I've caught em in coyote traps before and they're ****ed and mean then for sure, but that was the first time I'd ever had one charge me out in the open. [/QUOTE]
