A buddy of mine (Pat Rogers's lawyer, actually) is an African big game hunter. He told me that when you shoot a lion, the lion only thinks of killing you, the guy that hurt him, whereas when you shoot a leopard; the leopard wants to kill everybody within range

Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
I was distressed to have conducted an interweb search only to find out that Idaho leads all states in terms of badger population. I have doubled my resolve to never venture outside unarmed. OTOH, badgers are small and agile so my 9mm Staccato C2 with 16+1 seems appropriate to the threat, my skill not so much.
Having seen first-hand how a Cape buff reacts to getting double-lunged with a .375 (spoiler alert, that really pisses it off), I don't doubt that. African game is generally not of the 'turn the other cheek' persuasion.A buddy of mine (Pat Rogers's lawyer, actually) is an African big game hunter.

Our tiny 5 year old Girl#1, went running up to them, dodged between some legs, grabbed the snake expertly, and held it up. In her cute little voice she said "Gopher snake! I'm calling it Snakey!" Everyone in the other group panicked and scattered.
My youngest daughter was like that. She was in a junior zookeeper program in early grade school and knew how to handle animals. Gave me the willies.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
