Had a great time hunting in Kansas the last 5 days and learned a few things. Badgers are some mean critters, if you happen to set up close to a badger hole be prepared for a fight. I had one charge me as I was enjoying watching two doe's, this thing came at me like a charging bull and it caught me so off guard I almost wet myself jumping up and getting my rifle on it just as it dove in it's hole no more then 10 feet from me. After I got my heart back in my chest and collected my scattered call, rattling horns, and binoculars from all over the place I settled back in and this thing poked it's head back out of it's hole and started hissing at me. I had my rifle on it and decided if that thing came out of it's hole again I was sending it to his maker. A few minutes passed and it started growling so I threw a dirt clod at it's hole and he got really loud and mad I thought this is it, it is me or him and I had a rifle. He never did come back out and I could not calm down enough to continue hunting from that spot so I moved and gave him his space. Lesson learned do not set up close to a badger hole.
