Badger killin' Tom
« on: January 06, 2010, 07:31:35 PM »
My friend Machias thought some of you might like to see this....   Here it is...Treed a nice tom today that had killed a badger.  I was following the cat and dog tracks and got to a spot where I started to see badger tracks in the snow.  A little further, I could see where the lion laid in the snow and then took off at a dead run.
 
At first, the whole works was heading right for this...  :o   I'm thinkin' oh boy....


shows his running steps (next to mine)


shows the badger hole where he steam rolled him


shows the half eaten badger


He was totally sitting on his ass, if you look close, his hind feet aren't even touching - looked pretty funny.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
