Had coyote and badger go nose to nose "almost" get into fight 2 seasons ago. Like magic- both said "ahhh, not worth it" and turned around at same time backing off. I personally think the badger would have won but they sure looked like equals and almost had a great fight. Wicked little rascals. Hardly see em but as long as they are not ripping my terraces to shreds I like em.
Really cool pic. Man-challenge: next time, grab that sucker, pin him down & bring home with u. Tame him like an old wild horse so he's your pet. I wanna see u holding that thing next pic!
