I've remarked a few times lately that it has been ~years~ since I smelled skunk, and it used to be a fairly common occurance to catch a whiff of them or see/smell them in the road. I think they are pretty much gone from this area.
Well, where'd they go?
A few weeks ago there was a skunk smell every night outside my window for like 5 minutes, then fortunately it went away. Not sure what was going on there--never saw the critter, though I have seen 'em around on other occasions.
