Title: Badger killin' Tom
Post by: catdogs 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....

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