These were posted all over my neighborhood in the North Loop area in 2006. I never saw the badger.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Hiiisssss.....
Opossums hiss, I assume badgers do too.
Do people really keep badgers as pets?
How are you going to catch it if you don't touch it? Do you get the huge reward if you just call and saw you saw it?
Has anyone ever noticed how many finds there are from Austin?
Badgers don't hiss, they grunt and growl.
"Huge reward" for sighting a badger sounds like the writer of the notice may be a hunter.
The switch in person at the end is interesting: "Please don't touch it--I can attack at random." The hunter, or the badger? If you report a sighting, will the writer attack you?
eh, heh, heh, little girl, y'wanna see my badger? It's HUGE. I got right here in my poc
Just more of the local attitude of "Keep Austin weird" I will be there next week for my fix.
It's college football season, isn't it? (...although the Badgers do seem to be avoiding all Texas teams in this fall's schedule...)
Badger's are cute, but i think probably mean. cute from afar...
Who is going to attack at random? The badger or the writer of this note?
And what is an avef?
Fooch: Ave F
I think
Uh huh... and just HOW did the badger get from Wisconsin to Texas? (I'm pretty sure its next stop was Washington State, and I'm almost CERTAIN I saw this particular badger singing karaoke at Denny's.)
ope- Nope. That was a weasel.
obviously if you can't touch it, you have to catch it in a blanket or something. it's not like anyone would be able to catch it with bare hands anyway.
He's SO Fierce!
Badgers? We don't need no stinking BADGERS!!
He's right here:

Far left, hiding behind the bush (seeing as he's on the lam and all).
As anyone who has read The Wind in the Willows knows, Badgers want to be left alone, to go about their business...but if hassled they can be very agressive, yes. And they have long claws and sharp teeth, which they know how to use to good effect.
Being a southerner, I had never seen a badger, until I started going through my northerner father's closet, where I spotted his high school letter jacket. His pride was injured when I asked him why his school mascot was a "very angry chipmunk." How was I to know?
As I have heard that Honey Badgers are the meanest animals alive, I'm going to just assume that Wisconsin Badgers are similar in attitude.
@ Miss Scarlet ... you win today! (as far as I'm concerned)
Yup, in Wisconsin. Been here a pretty big portion of my life. Even went to a high school called Badger HS. The funny thing is I've NEVER seen a live badger outside of the zoo. So how someone in Texas ended up with one (and why) is completely beyond me.
I can attack at random?
Oh lordy what a difference a t makes.
