Really? I don't mean that as a smart ass either. I see them quite often.

He doesn't look that impressed to see you Bone.

Used to be alot more of them. I haven't seen a live one in years. Found one in Eburg shed hunting, but he was a scraggily bugger. I'll tell the story on this one shortly.

So, I spot this buck and doe in a pocket a long ways off. He looks decent. I start closing the gap. I bumped into a bunch of other deer so went through gently not to spook them out. I get to the pocket and here is a doe and a little forkie. I am certain the buck was bigger. I start to climb the rise to look over into the little basin on the other side. This grey thing goes shooting by my feet in the tall grass. Scared the BEJEEBERS out of me. Had no clue what it was. Then it popped its head up. I was obviously close. As I circled him hed dip back into his hole. I'd take a step back and he'd come out more curious. I got lined up on a trail with him between his two holes and hunkered. He'd stand up to try to see what I was doing. I finally went and got my little lens and walked up to him. He sat back in his hole. He had no aggression at all. I was surprised. I resisted trying to pet him or pick him up and cuddle though he just looked so cuddily. I suppose at that time I would have outlived my welcome.
After the photoshoot I continued up over the little ridge...SURE ENOUGH ass and horns going the other way...full speed. Guess I missed one. It was worth it.

Those are great shots Bone, congrats on a rare find!
-
now ...thats awesome ...see a few around Fruitland once in awhile ! :tup:
-
Awsome. Saw one near davenport years ago. Ran in front of the truck at night. Backed up to be sure it was a badger. It was.
-
See badgers quite often down in the SE part of the state. Good shots Doug.
-
THANKS! I wonder what the odds are he will be around the same holes.
-
Ran into one hunting around 49 north except he was pisssed and didnt want me around
-
Quite a few of them around but seldom seen, part of the night crew. Lots of badger stories but my favorite is running one down with my young son on my shoulders, we ended up on the run from the fiesty little monster.

Yeah, I've seen a dozen or so just driving on back roads. While cutting thistle, I got chased by a momma badger back to the ATV. I just saw two roadkill badgers in Awy Heights in September.
-
Way cool! Have never seen one and did not know they lived in Washington
-
Use to see them when I was young on my grandma's farm.... But they didn't like me very much.... Cool shots!!

Honey badger don't care.
This last pic looks kinda like he DOES care. Both those eyes are set looking right at the lens. Don't piss off a badger, Doug! :nono:
-
They are fearless. Impossibly tough, great diggers. If badgers grew to 60 lbs they would rule the continent.
-
Just be glad honey badgers aren't on this continent!

Just a suggestion: don't take the same attitude with grizzly photography. :yike: :yike: :yike: :bdid:
