Likely the owl swooping in to get a free meal. Although you would think nothing would eat a skunk. 😣
Dracula. Cameras do not pick up.
About 25 years ago, my wife and I were traveling down some back road on the way back from a favorite ice cream shop, and I hit a skunk. I had the AC on high, and it sucked all of the smell into the passenger compartment. Obviously, we opened the windows, and my wife nearly puked. It took about two months to get rid of that smell, and I used every chemical known to mankind to get rid of it. I passed by that dead skunk every day for several weeks on the way back-and-forth to work, and let me tell you that dead skunks definitely smell a lot worse than the smell they emit when they were alive… if that’s possible to even imagine.
As a funny aside, my wife (of maybe 2 months at the time) and I had an argument about who was going to be able to shower first when we got home, but when we finally pulled up to our apartment, she refused to get out of the car because she thought that the skunk was somehow still alive and clinging to the tire. I told her that there was no way that it was still alive when it had been hit by a 3500 pound vehicle going about 60 miles an hour, let alone sitting there waiting to attack her. I also told her that she didn’t get out right away, I was going to leave her there and go shower. Needless to say, she got out of the car immediately. Also funny was the fact that she had grown up in a city, and probably only saw skunks on TV. The complaints that she made to her mother were side splitting. I still give her shit about that.
Undead Skunk Apocalypse
Put up a big own box for horned owls, you won’t have skunks again.
Had a friend do that. They need to obtain purchase with their back legs on the ground to get the leverage they need to spray.
But you have to be really really fast
Many animals kill and eat their species...chipmunks for example.
Yes. Alvin.
I have always understood that if the trap is small enough that they cannot get their tail up they cannot spray.
Now, I live trap the raccoons, possums, skunks, whatever. And take them downtown Cincinnati to the tent cities they set up.
.....
Why?
Before I posted that, I wondered what AI would say about it.... it said it was a myth and that it would still be able to spray.
I remember the skunk squirming around a bit as my Dad had it lifted up by the tail but not near as bad as a cat if you tried to do that.
SKUNKS CARRY A MYRIAD OF DISEASES—_THE LEAST OF WHICH IS RABIES
I used to do that to the possums and raccoons that I would catch. Drop them off about a block away from my plant on Connor and Charlevoix.
THEY CARRY A LONG LIST OF DISEASES
Treated the lawns and the grubs are gone. The skunks are foraging under my bird feeder.
Actually, it's a good thing because that's where I can shoot them after dark with my .22 pellet rifle with attached flashlight.
WHEN I BOUGHT 5 ACRES IN N CALIF-—I WASN’T AWARE THT THE PRIOR OWNERS HAD PUT UP “BAT BOXES”
WHEN EVERYONE ELSE COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW BAD THE MOSQUITOES WERE-—I HAD NONE.
BATS CAN EAT AS MANY AS 2000 a night.
NO UNHAPPY HORSES
If the people setting up these protest sites, protesting homelessness but do it by blocking sidewalks and defecating in the streets, they deserve to see what deal world people put up with.
I’m tired of these protests. There are plenty of places to set up a tent and live your life without impacting others with their crapping and junking up an otherwise great city.
Another one where he’s crossing a dangerous crevasse out in the middle of nowhere and its a couple hundred feet from a highway.
Most skunk traps I’ve seen are cylindrical in nature to keep them from being able to raise their tails and spray.
