Nick
I have heard about that as well but was always afraid that I would catch a short legged one.

Mike-Little stinker dug/squeezed under the main door to my chicken run and waddled it fat backside into the open door to my coupe,I leave the door open so my chickens can leave the coupe as they please,but after my raccoon incident I lock the door up at dusk,the skunk got in before I locked the chickens up for the night

 

[mfrade]

We had never seen raccoons until we had chickens, and then the skunks moved in, almost like a first and second shift!

If we were doing it right now, we'd be standing guard against the coyotes!

The Grosbeak this morning is saying WTH! Damn black bear anyway!!!!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Charlie, nice Grosbeak. One of my favorite birds. My neighbor had a black bear on his deck Wednesday morning. There's been a yearling hanging around the area for the past month. I have not seen it yet but it made off with my suet feeder a week or two ago.

I have squirrels and Robin's eating my grass seed. That doesn't even pale in comparison to skunks, snakes and bear(oh wow?). Last house I lived in rural area and delt with rabbits and skunks. Rabbits ate my garden, had to keep gard with the.22 and managed to pop a skunk from about 20-30 yards, lucky shot. Still stank for a week.

 

[digger]

He comes back, he'll end up like the last one did at our place!

 

[mfrade]

Yeah Ethan, we've got all the same critters here too. Our neighbor out front had a Koi pond, it got cleaned out by a Blue Heron.. 100 bucks in fish cleaned out in 4 hours!

I'm game on the deck. No worries on when, I'm not going anywhere yet. LOL.

 

[ekincaid]

Mike-that sucks for your neighbor but I do have to say that’s “kinda” funny

 

[mfrade]

I guess it is in a way.. glad it wasn't my loss tho!

Had a Roadkill Skunk last week on road shoulder in front yard. Hardly a smell, so no aerial burial , just scoop it up from the front end and bury in neighbors corn field.

Well, the skunks are back and this time one of them is an albino, or at least partial albino. I also think it is blind from the way it stayed on the back right side of the adult it was with. Every turn left or right it stayed right there. My little cybershot camera is on its last leg apparently plus I had the zoom out and that's the reason the pic is so grainy.

The tail of the albino was completely bright white and its body had some of the usual markings as in stripes but there was no black. The lead skunk looked normal. The two of them actually looked like one animal they were walking so close together.

Wayne, interesting colored skunk. As much as I'd like to see it closer up, I'm sure you'd rather not have a chance at getting better photos.
