So when you catch the tiger by the tail, how do you let it go...  :silly:

I've run across a badger or 2 in my youth.  All I can say is that boy has more balls than sense!
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Kids seemed a little young for "Hold Muh Beer" time.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Would like to see how he got out of that without getting his face eaten off.

I was thinking that the boy might not completed the "Planning Stages" of his catch.

A guy commented that he hit a Badger with his tractor once. It was unfazed but his tractor got a flat tire!

That boy will die young, mark my word. In fact, the badger may outlive him.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Meet O’Neill’s Badger-Snatching, Muskrat-Scruffing State Champ Wrestler

https://hailvarsity.com/wrestling/its-just-the-adventure-of-the-whole-deal-meet-oneills-badger-snatching-muskrat-scruffing-state-champ-wrestler/

While on the ride, something caught Ty’s eye against the vast whiteness of Big Sky country.

“We’re driving along in a pickup, and Ty’s sitting in the backseat and my buddy and I are sitting in the front driving across this beautiful ranch,” Monte recalled. “Ty says, ‘What is that up there?’ We got a little bit closer and he yells out, ‘That’s a badger!’ And I said, ‘By gosh, that is a badger.’ Then he goes, ‘Can I go catch it?’ My buddy about fell out of the pickup and he looked at Ty and said, ‘Are you crazy?'”

It’s all about the thrill of the hunt—that’s why Ty wanted to catch that badger in Montana. So Monte gave his son the green light to start the chase while the two watched from inside the pickup.

As Ty trudged through the snow toward the badger, back in the pickup, Jason turned to Monte and said, “What’s he thinking? He’s going to get hurt.'” Monte replied, “Well, it’ll just happen once and he won’t try to catch another one.”

Ty wanted to try his hand at catching live badgers after seeing videos of other people doing it. For many, that doesn’t sound like the greatest of ideas. Adult badgers can grow to 30-35 inches in length and weigh an average of about 12-16 pounds. Some can even get over 20 pounds as they prepare for winter. Their claws are long, too—about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches. When cornered, badgers get mean and dangerous in a hurry.

When Ty eventually caught up to the animal, a wrestling match of sorts broke out—bad news for the badger.

One thing about badgers—their skin is loose. That makes them easier to grab, but it also allows them to twist and turn further than you’d think. Watch your fingers.
