Has anyone called badgers in? Was it pure luck or intentional?

Once while as a kid picking rocks one came towards us, I killed it with a pitch fork but after about a dozen stabs I wish I had never started, man they are tuff
 
My boys and I called one in last March in our thermal night season. We spotted him at about 500 yards. He came all the way across a huge terraced bean field to within about 80 yards. Took us a long time to figure out what the heck it was. It was the relative size of a coon or possum but sure didn't move like either one.
Fun Stuff!
 
I've called a few in. The last one I called up came in with a coyote. They were huntin together. I've never called one in on purpose, just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. I've seen them go down their hole and lip squeaked them up so I could shoot them before but that's a different deal altogether.
 
Being from the far SE I’d never seen one until turkey hunting in Kansas one year. He wasn’t exactly nice and had an attitude. Apparently we were heading to the same little knob and cedar I wanted to set up in. I had gobbling turkeys just over the rise and ended up having to circle around because that critter wasn’t giving me any ground that he’d already laid claim to!!
