Stinkin Skunk!!!

[bandbaustin]

So I come home from the 3-11 shift. Pull into driveway and light up the pheasant/guinea pens on the back of our property with my brights. All of a sudden a few of the keets(2 months old) are jumping up and hitting the top of the run. I drive down there to find a skunk in the run with them. It was a smaller one. Needless to say he is a skunk no more after meeting the business end of my glock!!! The guineas all were walking up to it squawking before i got in and pulled it out. Man they sure do stink!!!!! Now I am gonna have to figure out where the little stinker got in and secure it better in the morning!!

I just hate that smell.

As a kid we were CONSTANTLY trapping skunks.

And then some hunting enthusiast with coon dogs introduced raccoons into our little home town that had never had them.

What a horrible thing that was. Can you tell I don't like skunks or coons?!!

We had been smelling it for A FEW weeks now. Wonder if he was the one that pulled one of the keets through the wire before I got the hardware cloth along the bottom and ate it!! HAve had a trap set since but no luck.

I've never known skunks to reach through like that... but coons and weasels... YES!

i was thinking coon as well but not weasel. Whatever it was ate the whole thimg and only left one wing which I used as bait for the "live trap". Afraid to use foot holds after I caught my neighbors Rottweiler one night.

I agree with you 100%, everyday I look outside like 3 times to see if any of them out there.
