Thinking that a woodchuck has taken over this den.
The badger came back out relatively quick.
I was thinking that I had a picture of him turning his rear and running but I can't find it at the moment....
This is a relatively cheap camera [59USD with card and batteries.} and it takes good pictures for what I need to see.

My youngest wanted to go to a nearby swimming lake with her friend. The lake has a nice beach area, some woodland, etc. It's a very popular spot during the holidays. But she's 12 and after initially giving permissions, my wife changed her mind and told her she couldn't go. It's a place where much older kids and older people hang out, it's a big area with multiple exists and hiding spots, and it's impossible to have an overview. Not really the place where I would let 2 12 year old girls roam an entire afternoon.
Fwiw I agree with my wife and the reason I didn't initially object when my wife didn't, is that I know I am sometimes too overprotective so if my wife says ok I tend to agree unless I really disagree.
Anyway, my wife told her, and she was mad at my wife. Half an hour later I see her walking down the stairs and I wanted to give her a hug, but she said NO, I am mad at you too. I ask why and she said: you and mommy are a team and you always back each other. So I'm mad at you too for this!.

The Bobcats are more likely to avoid you, even to see one is rare!
They, like any cat, are wondrous beasts. I had a friend who operated an exotic cat rescue and new home finding on her farm, in the early 80's. Back when that was legal. She had male that lived in the house, 42 pounds of sweet, he used the toilet for his needs. She had 6 Bobcats in a very large run that were a bit harder to deal with but not dangerous. She also had a mated pair, in another, who were delightful to enjoy and they showed off their kittens whose eyes were not yet open. In the years I knew the Bobcats and played with them, I never received a scratch! Of course, if a male arointed (marked) any of your clothes . . . better to be naked than wear them!

A lynx rather than a bobcat, but hey, that's pretty close.
This was nearly a dozen years ago at my sister's place in central Manitoba. We were loading up their car one morning when we saw a grey streak (the lynx) being chased by a white streak (Yeti, their big white part wolf dog) up the driveway, past the carport, then down into the ravine. Lucky for us, the lynx then went up a birch tree which brought him back up to eye level with the rest of us. He hung out there long enough for me to grab my camera. Such a beautiful animal.
As my brother in law said, Yeti was lucky he didn't turn to fight him: it would have been like fighting a lawn mower.
