Yea I came across one in Kansas years back when I was pheasant hunting. He was in the middle of a gravel road when we drove up and he just laid down and flattened himself out to hide. Brother and I got out to look at him and I took my shotgun. He just laid there so what did I do??? Poke the sucker with the barrel of my shotgun and all H#ll broke loose, he growled, jumped up snarling and snapping his teeth. First thing he came to was the barrel and he bit it. Barrel still has the bite mark in it!!. Needless to say brother was already in truck yelling at me to get in!No matter the size, ya gotta be one mean dog to willingly attack badgers face-first...
