They don't try to hurt you, but they can

the ones in manitoba that get to like 40+ pounds do

@Deleted User You must not have big enough ones to worry about hooking them

you guys fish?

Count yourself lucky the elder ones have not found you

Not that much anymore

the small ones can get you, but the bigger ones arent as bad because their barbs or whatever usually become dull

Did not know that

serriously i will fight a badger with bare hands before i get near a snapping turtle

i saw a massive one in Minnesota once, just chilling on a rock. It looked like a freaking dinosaur

Because it is

^

They're smarter than you think

ever seen a badger fight a backhoe?

i have

Most of the ones in the park I visit know not to go after hooks

lol

I've seen one drag a duck under once. Granted, it wasn't a very big duck, but still

I've luckily never been in contact with a badger

The ducks avoid certain ponds for that reason

badgers are suuuuper dumb

More balls than brains?

you give them anything to fight and they will ignore you, even a turtle knows you are holding the stick

lol

they have 2 modes sleeping and imma go bite that

arent they the ones that can survive venomous snake bites, and just sleep it off?

no

live now btw guys https://youtu.be/T3e1hnRiiuk

thats an african badger totaly better beast

gotcha

I had to kill one once that was digging up our fence line, just held a stick in its face, well it "fought" the stick got it with my right hand. they are really dumb they traded smarts for viscousness.

Seems to work for them

Even bears won't touch them

if you dont have a distraction im told they go for your nuts then your throat

what do you mean by you got it with your right hand? youre not claiming to have punch a badger to death are you?

no grabbed it, explaining it's death might ge tme put in jail so why i was vauge not sure if it's considered crule to kill em the way i did.

ill check first

They're hard to hurt, all that baggy skin

shitealaska

I've had enough of the race thing for a lifetime, I cant watch that sort of thing anymore

ok cool drown the thing
