Own that t-shirt
Big buck badger made this mound, he was pissed off, ready to take a leg off when I walked up. One in the head with the .17 HMR took the fight out of him. Had the trap chain or stake been shorter, he'd a had me. A cornered badger is nothing to trifle with.
Ignore the timestamp, happened 11/16. Made a set on the back side, caught a yote 3 days later.
I hear you. We had a big yellow jacket nest in the woods behind the house and a badger dug them out and I'm guessing he took heavy sting abuse because his face was... lumpy. I walked up on the aftermath and he was not amused. Fortunately, I was on my way out to split wood and had an axe.
