So Here's what I saw last Thursday when I opened my curtains at about 9:30 a.m.
BADGER
How Freaky is this?
I mean really, I don't need these freaky ass mean animals in my yard.

At first, we thought it was just a big-ass Rock Chuck. Oh...No, it was confirmed last night that it was a Badger. My good friend Jacque was over last night, her husband is a big time hunter and taxidermist and I showed her the pics. She said "Oh that's a Badger Susie, not a Rock Chuck!" Let me tell ya, I was...am still really freaked out by this. Then as we are sitting here looking at the pictures, we look out on our deck and realize that a Big-Ass Raccoon is right by our door. What the hell animals... stay away! Oh did I mention in true Red-Neck fashion we had chickens for about a month, well when something killed 2 of the 13 chickens we had, we decided to get rid of them. Now I'm guessing either one of the giant rodent things killed them. So needless to say Justin is setting traps tonight to get them! Sometimes Country living Bites!Oh, Paula PLEASE don't let this sway you from letting the Bubba stay with us!

ok-i am freaked out. you know i just looked up some info about badgers online and learned these facts:
-they can either live alone or form colonies ranging in numbers from 2-15.
-they can run 20-25 km per hour for short distances if they need to.
-they will protect eachother and their young at all costs.
-they live underground in burrows and eat rodents that live underground. they can dig fast to catch them.
-they can also kill and eat animals as large as fox, coyote and wolf.
i wish i didn't know all this. you know my theory about life....ignorance is bliss. you'd better catch and kill it before this weekend.
We will try our best. Thanks for the facts...I don't think I'll ever let my kids play outside again. And I'm being serious!
When we lived in the city in Pittsburgh we had a raccoon that would get in our trash cans and dig up our yard. We trapped that big one with a raccoon trap and a piece of bread with jam on it. The creature could not resist.
Only Paula would comb the internet to find every detail about the workings of a badger!!! Great investigation skills girl!!
Can't you set some kind of trap???
