I've been charged twice in my life.....once by a badger is southern Minnesota.....I had a gun at the time and I ran like hell.....but once I realized that it was I that was armed and not the badger I worked the lever of that Marlin 39A and turned back to the attacker .....but he was gone...

PHC would still be laughing and told the story in a very different fashon I assure you.

The second time I was attacked was actually on safari in Africa.....yes.....attacked in Africa.....by an ostrich...

I quickly asked the PH how much an ostrich was and he replied about $320 so I picked up a softball sized rock and threw it at him.....It hit him in the knee and I think that damn bird is still limping around africa today. Had Capstick been there the story would have been a little different I think.....

That story could have been published in his last book "Wounded Knee in the Short Grass".
