Came across this pr of Badgers a few yrs ago Fall time. Best I could figure is. This was a female? running off one of her male? cubs. She chased him roughly 1/2 mile from her den site. A few times she caught him as he? paused. She bit him on the rump.

Momma not happy, no one happy.

BEST to give an angry female a WIDE birth. :biggrin:
Well I was wrong about what I thought occurred. Badgers typically breed July-August. They also have a very long gestation period.
