Title: Skunks
Post by: Napper on October 08, 2012, 09:39:12 PM

Any one else experiencing an abundance of Skunks this fall

3 dogs have been skunked in the last week on our Street.

I am pretty sure a skunk got into our garage last night and got into my bird feed then tipped over the garbage can and had a Turkey dinner.

I took our pooch out for a walk last night around 10:30 and everywhere I went smelled of Skunk. The night before Wife and daughter with dog  spotted El-Skunko
2 doors down.

I've gotten into the habit of taking a really bright flashlight whenever I step out at night.

I've noticed more skunks lately but figured it was b/c there was less of other creatures about so more noticeable plus, probably hurrying to forage more before winter...haven't seen a raccoon for a while..but that wouldn't explain more skunks in your neighbourhood Napper...

Hey Axeman!

The Skunk invasion seemed to ease off a bit until this week. Warmer weather seems to have woke them up again.

We, meaning dog and I had a little face to face with a skunk Monday night around 10:00 pm while on a little walk.

On a side note a Neighbour spotted a Possum at their back sliding door a couple of nights ago.
