Wildlife at the airport - Honey badger don't care...

Except for marmots don't live at low altitude (below ~8000 feet or so).

He said it was a pilot, so obviously they were at high altitude. I win.

They do sit rather high up on the runway

Overheard a united pilot this morning telling ground control about an "un-identifiable" animal on the taxiway.

They were still on the ground.

You lose.

I was coming back from Kansas late one night and needed a bathroom really bad, so I stopped at Ben Lomond Gun Club to use a portajohn. Decided to look around afterwards with a flashlight and pick up some brass while I was there.

I was on range 4, and hear a wierd clicking noise. There was two badgers that had come out of a den dug into one of the side berms, and they were rather pissed that I'd disturbed their peaceful evening. The clicking was them snapping their jaws. They couldn't see me because I had my Jeep parked and running, with the headlights shining down the range.

I just moved over to another range and let 'em be. Yeah, looking for brass at 2am with a flashlight, I'm pretty fucked up I guess.

Badgers are mean little bastards, had one attack the tire of my truck once.

were you driving at the time and you might have "drifted" or did he literally attack your tire?

The wife and I were were coming down a mountain road in the Meeker Co. area.The road was rough, was traveling maybe 5 mph., we came into this clearing and from out of nowhere came this badger. We were still moving and he started attacking my front tire. Might have been a female protecting her young, maybe it was rabid I don't know, didn't hang around long enough to find out ....wierd huh!

I had one chase me off the 9th green at Buffall Run Golf course (104th and Chambers) a few years back! It scared the hell out of me as I walked up to my ball just off the rough and saw a wicked set of teeth coming out of the waist high grass hissing! I believe i set a course record for fewest steps back to my cart!

Sitting in the cart, I watched it cruise back and forth around the green before disappearing back into cover. Those things are mean lookin' little bastards!
