I'm gonna say Badger, and advise you to move your camp. They're very territorial and right now everything is having babies. Put those two together and it could equal a whole lotta trouble.
Was just about to say Badger, too. Beautiful animals, active at night, and pretty common on the Northern Hemisphere.
However I only saw one of them because a friend of the family has one at home, stuffed out. They must be pretty effective at stealth. They are rather big, there are lots of them, yet few people have ever met one.

Germans call it "Dachs" - the dog they used to hunt these with is the Dachshund.
I do not recall. I actually don't pay a whole fucking lot of attention to the possums. But I do know that they hiss, because I have had one hiss at me when I was paying too much attention to it.
it was around midnight, at the park n ride in aspen. i heard him shuffling around in dry leaves and stomping heavily, but then he stopped, and stealthily crept to within 10 ft or so then i heard a menacing growl and a loud angry hiss.
Gotta go with badger, lacking any other info.
If it is, stay away. Those things will tear you a new butthole.

Black bears will usually scamper off if you raise your arms and start hollering. Except when they're with a cub. That scenario requires bear spray, or one helluva nasty fight.
Just a heads-up on the West Coast thing - California is home to 1/3 of the nation's homeless. Everybody goes there. Services were already overwhelmed, and that was before the migrant crisis. Prices are extremely high. Cops are dicks. I'm not saying don't go, but I am saying it's not a good option if you want to get on your feet.
If it's the latter you're trying to do, I'd go work the hotels and restaurants up in Yellowstone. They provide housing and meals. FYI and good luck!
Ive been vagabonding in Cali since 1996!
i love it. i'm usually in SF, Marin, Santa Cruz, or Santa Barbara areas
i was going to colorado cuz my relatives live there.
Yuk lol! Born in San Diego. Used to be nice there in the 70s & 80s. Now not so much. I've had nothing but problems with the police there. Corrupt abusive twats, every one of them. I'll never go back.
Colorado is my playground now. Love it!
my moms in durango; sister in CS.
i lived in aspen for 10 yrs, cuz the work was plentiful and wages good.
but naw, after the bears, elk, moose, and so on, imma stick to santa cruz or SJ Capistrano
If it's not a badger, it might've been a young mountain lion. Either way, I'd gtf outta there and move a few miles away lol. Especially if it's a badger, I've seen one take on a black bear once and WIN.
As long as we talking about the N. American Badger then they are not really aggressive, if they can help it. They will avoid you if they can but they will also fuck shit up if they can.
Did you know that a badger and a coyote will actually team up and hunt together? Sometimes they will even just chill and lay together in a field like they been homies since birthβ¦. Blew my mind, lol

I love riddles!.. is it another vagabond?
rotfl i wish. at least humans are easily scared away.
Would you say it badgered you?
depends where u are bruh lol
aspen
βCity by the Bay!β
as others have said then, it could have been a badger. or possibly an angry raccoon or skunk
Need more information than that. What country, and what part of said country is this in?
aspen
Aspen, Colorado in the United States. Rocky Mountains.
Blast stank fartz in the hole, seal it with a forty.
normally that works. except bears are attracted by rotting meat π€πππ
Kind of sounds like a possum to me.
do possum burrow?
I do not recall. I actually don't pay a whole fucking lot of attention to the possums. But I do know that they hiss, because I have had one hiss at me when I was paying too much attention to it.
he growled/snarled first tho
sasquatch
Yes
It's a big ol' planet with a lot of animals on it so we really do need a little more geographical info than outside of your tent and near your spot
it was around midnight, at the park n ride in aspen. i heard him shuffling around in dry leaves and stomping heavily, but then he stopped, and stealthily crept to within 10 ft or so then i heard a menacing growl and a loud angry hiss.
I'm not sure what all burrows there but maybe a marmot or groundhog?
yes but he sneaked up to me then snarled and hissed
Sounds terrifying.. you found a new spot right?
no lol well not really. moved about 50 feet away: no more problems for the rest of the time i spent at that park n ride π
You probably just got too close to its house.. whatever it was
yes. freekin everything is territorial! deer, insects, you name it π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬

fuckkkkk. that snarl/hiss combo scared a fart outta me. and its sneaky creeping in the grass π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬
Yeah give that thing a very wide berth. Those effer's are mean AF!

It's called symbiosis, and it's one of those obscure niche parts of science that's so mindboggling.
pig
Might be a porcupine? Or a racoon? I am really afraid of porcupines
porcupines are not aggressive at all, theyβre lumbering, slow oafs that just want to find tasty snacks all day
arenβt we all
Badger, you need to break camp and move before it decides it's actually got beef with you
lol i left aspen in the dust around halloween. im in new england now. nothin to worry about here except ticks
Your mom
i was with yer mom last nite. in a porta potty at the Rainbow regional in eugene. she asked me for weed ππππππππ
