Yes. In August 2011, while biking along the Raccoon River Bike Trail southwest of Des Moines, we encountered a badger. As he was crossing the trail approximately 100 yards in front of us, we startled him. Instead of scampering into the underbrush, he waddled down the trail for several minutes. We were riding at about 5 mph and closing in on him, while maintaining a safe distance. Soon, he turned, giving us a magnificent profile (as if to say, Yes, I am a badger), then jumped into the tall grass and brush. We stopped to investigate, but he was gone. I have been trying to find more information on badgers in Iowa, but have come up empty handed in my internet search.
