Title: I couldn't shoot...
Post by: [email protected] on January 10, 2007, 10:59:00 PM

At first, I thought a new quiver in the making !

But I am glad I grabbed the camera.

you never know with badgers. I have seen them close; and had no problems; but also I have seen them chase a grown man as if they had a meal plan.

Nice photos  :)

Sweet pics.  Looks like you and he were very close.  Those things can be just pure mean even if they look like they want to be petted.

So Bob, did you reach over and scratch him behind the ear's?  ;)  

If you've never been close to a Badger, they smell just like a skunk.  :saywhat:

Tree Killer....

IMHO - They smell worse than a skunk!

They will also "tree" a hunting guide on top of a T-post.  Now that is something to see.

Beware of critters that can run as fast backwards as they can forwards.  Have had quite a few run in's with badgers and they can be mean.

I have a pelt with claws here in my office for reference.  Those are great photos and I smile every time I look at them.  Thanks for making a very cold day here, warmer.

sorry Bob, I keep coming back to what has to be the best pic of 2007 so far.  You captured the nonperturbed look probably a nonosecond before the explosion.  Truly classic.

Thanks guys!!!!

I appreciate your kind comments. I am trying to learn how to take a decent photo.

He was pretty close.  Didn't seem to mind me too much.  You could tell he was just a pup. As noted, the big ones can be agressive.

I am amazed what less than $500.00 can buy in the way of a camera.

Weez...Nothin you would probably use but for guys just putzin around.

Thanks!

Bob
