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.
