Sometimes things are just bound to happen. Yesterday my wife & I drove down to the county fair to watch the kids in the pig wrestling contest. Might just be the funniest thing I've ever watched, 6" of clay & about a thousand gallons of water makes for a pretty slippery arena. 4 kids on a team & a mudded up hog, they have 1 minute to put him in a barrel in the middle of the arena, I laughed until I almost lost my partial! :oops:
Anyway, on the way down I spot a dead badger on the highway, I just hate it went the die that way, they deserve me :cry: it was a big old boy, somebody probably dinged up their car when they smacked him.
My buddy callshot & I decided to go back down today, there were a couple of food booths I hadn't sampled :lol: & I intended to correct that, first was a double cheese burger, fries & a big drink, we sat around for a little while & I had to have a large cup of peaches & cream, then for a finisher I had a large Teton fry, thats french fries with cheese, sour cream & chopped green onion, I was a happy man but felt like a elephant seal.
We decided to leave & got about half way home & a badger goes blasting across the highway, I tell Steve to STOP :twisted: I bail out right on the road, jerk my carry gun out (model 60 S&W snubbie) & take off running. The grain is 3 feet tall, I'm looking left, right & out in the field, looking for any movement in the grain, then off to my right I spot the grain waving, he's headed my way, yoweee! I've got a 2" barrel snubbie with only 5 rounds of 125 gr +P ammo in my bobbed hammer gun, this could be interesting. He charges up to within about 10-12 feet & I see the grain stop moving, I do a fast double tap into the thick grain, one of them hits him & he takes off.........& I take off after him, I'm down to 3 rounds, I'm wearing my rubber Pittsburgh Steelers slippers & the grains clear up to my Pelosi :wink: I keep running & I'm making good time, Callshot said he scored me about a 3 on speed, I was so full of grub from the fair I could hardly keep up, one of us was getting tired :roll: Anyway, 300 yds out he runs down into a little depression & I see the grain stop moving, I ease up & I can see his nose, he's trying to decide what to do. I give him a fast double tap, he growls & rolls down into a small crack in an old lava reef......... I got him! Yippee!!
Well, now Barranti has his badger pelt and I'm all caught up, thanks to the one last week for Contender. He isn't full grown but a very nice badger with good markings, he'll make an excellent rug.
