Arriving on the ridge above wild animal heaven, after some miles on the Interstate.

Yes. I have a method. I cover the cage with an old blanket. Once the skunk calms down, I return and wrap the cage in the blanket. The skunk isn't so scared if it can't see me. Then I put the cage into a large black plastic bag (unsealed) and tie the cage to the top of my car. The bag serves...

I had a tenant with a dog for a year. The dog took care of all the predators. They moved away. This skunk is probably the baby of the skunk that attacked Horace. I wish it would have gotten trapped in the smaller cage. At least it has a full belly. Skunks are so cute! Now I will have to...
