Title: Roadkill
Post by: beenthere on September 02, 2014, 10:30:12 PM
Not a real exciting subject.

This evening, while driving the local state highway, I saw what looked like a badger.  Turned around and took a picture. Good size.
I think this one may have been done in by the LSU's "Mike the tiger".  ;D

I guess they don't call  it 'The Badger State' for nothing.

I wonder if the pelt would've been salvageable for a mount  or isn't the fur that good in the summer?  Then again, there's probably permit issues involved anyway.

Looks like a pretty good size one, having never seen one before, are they aggressive, or only when provoked?

Aggressive?  Yes very, I'd just say they are born pithed off, at least around here anyway.  The one in the picture is the best kind in my opinion, I've broke way too much equiptment falling in their holes!

Remember the vegetable of choice when serving road kill is SQUASH.

I can just see that sucker stand up and challenge an 18 wheeler.
