Yeah, but Huskers are basically farmers who kill weasels (just not lately it seems) My grandfather in 1920's farming near Leuwellen, NE. He was not fond of badgers digging burrows in the road. He came across one out of its den and decided he'd kill it. Jumped out of his truck, shovel in hand to dispatch the badger. Well the badger disliked my grandfather as much as he disliked the badger. The badger turned and charged. After a couple of close calls and unsuccessful swats at the badger, my grandfather retreated to his pickup and the badger carried the day. They are mean and nasty beasts, and maloderous. Have a house and a little bit of acreage by Lewellen (actually closer to Lisco, but still not far from there.) Love the lake and the hunting down there.

Kenzie hitting .160 out of the back row. Doesn’t sound to me like an experiment that needs to end. But what do I know? 🤷🏼♂️

Nicklin Hames and Kenzie Knuckles Q&A These young ladies make me smile. They seem to be genuinely happy and well balanced—earnest, but not overly solemn or serious. Seems they truly enjoy what they’re doing. Gotta love Nicklin’s style—not sure exactly how to describe it, but she comes off as quite transparent, with a hint of mischievousness. Maybe wholehearted captures it.

But what do I know? 🤷🏼♂️ Agree, while her hitting numbers aren't the greatest, the threat of her attack keeps the opposing middles a little more honest and sometimes makes them late in defending the pins.
