Default hey Dale

I had a neighbor many years ago that saw one in a field and rushed over to bop it on the head with a tire iron. threw it in the toolbox of the truck and when he got home told the family "look what I have" and opened the tool box lid. "HISS"
it was conscious again from its little nap and ready for another go round with Tom.

My Dad shot a large badger while accompanied by my Mom with a .22mag many years ago....went over and picked it up to take it back to skin it...he tossed it over his shoulder and was walking. Mom started yelling at him to put it down on the ground.....he had only spined it and it was trying to bite him in the ass....if Mom hadn't been there I can't imagine what would have happened.

robin and i watched this together and darn near laughed our arses off. i came to the conclusion though, that id like to know more to the story. did they drive away planning to relocate the beast? if thats the case, then im ok with it. if they were taking it to show off to friends, then that is unneccessary....just kill it already. im not big on tormenting wild animals just for grins. if they only wanted to catch it to prove he could, then taking him for a tour is a little wrong.

The guy has more patience than I do.

I would have just shot the damned thing, then "relocated" it to the nearest patch of woods.
