Okay, so it wasn't really an attack. But, once after my stand was complete, I stood to leave and a badger was running right toward me to where my back had just been. I shot him low and all that happend was his I ripped his belly open. Man that thing started grabbing his intestines with those big ol' claws and screaming at the top of his lungs. He was biting at them and jumping and spinning around like an injured coyote. He was so vicious I was horrified. I dipatched him right away after all of the ruckus.

Man, I might rather be attacked by a cat!
 
When I lived in Idaho (boise area) me and my friend Mike would go out i nthe desert and look for lizards and snaked and throw rocks at jacks. (in the sixth grade, the area we were we couldn't take even BB guns

) Mike thought it was a good idea to chuck some rocks at a badger...but turned out, it wasn't

. It chased us, and boy can they cover ground! mikes shoe fell off, the badger bit it and took it down the hole with him, and mike got to walk through the desert in his sock. His parents were none too happy about the missing shoe either. They're VERY agressive and territorial. The golf course guys used to have to chase them off the cours with firecrackers and such because they'd burow into the green and harrass golfers.
 
I work for the Idaho ARmy National Guards and we go out ot the desert all the time. Well a couple years age I tool one of my new guys out on a raiding mission with me. We made a successful strike at one of the other units and on the way back we ran into a badger along the road and this dummy jumps out of the hummer and starts to attack the badger with just his kevlar helmet. He got to within about 3 ft of the badger before I told him to back off. Fortunatly for him the badger was more interested in what was in his hole than tearing him a new one. We hate badger out there because their hole are so big and at night you fall in them aand can really get hurt.
 
True story: about 10 years ago some army grunt in idaho, or wyoming while out on manuvres decided to crap down a badger hole. It came out and seriously mangles his...uh...stuff. it was nooooo good for him. Lots of stitches

I know a guy, no kidding, a farm boy his whole life, that loves to catch badgers with his bear hands. he is about my age, 32,. his brother and he himself told me the stories. One time out on the Eastern plains of Colorado, I shot a badger. Willy told me, "I like badgers". I don't shoot 'em, I catch 'em. I asked him if those huge claws hurt. He told me, naw, those big floppy things are for just for digging, It hurts a bit if they bite you though. I have been bitten a frew times!!!!"

WOW! What a man, man!
 
BM, I've heard that story too but from what I heard he had it coming. If you came to my house and dumped on my front door I'd guess I would have to mess up your stuff too

. but seriosly from what I heard it only took a small chunk out of his rearend. He was a tanker anyway so no love losted from me. Don't like tanker wish they had a season on them with no bag limit

I was out hunting for coyotes, spotted a bunch of crows and magpies so I drove in a little closer to get a better look. I saw a coyote there so I dumped him with my 223. I walk over to look at my prize and there is a badger so I shoot him. He hardly slows down so I shoot him in the head, I killed him, but that first shot hit him hard and he just paused for a second and took off again. Talk about tough!
