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

Awsome pics,Ive seen them roadkilled in Wyo,but never live ones.Real pretty critters.How close was he?

[madness522]

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.

Excellent set of pictures. Thanks for sharing.

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.
  :D

Thank you for sharing with us. I bet if you had one of them for a pet on the back porch you would never have to worry about the coons gettin the garbage.  Brokenwing

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.
