I killed a skunk maybe 5 yards from my backdoor at a farm I lived at a number of years ago. Course the bastard let fly as it died. Took about 4 years for the grass to grow back in about a 5 ft. dia. circle. Smell lasted till the snow came.
About ten years ago, my family and another went tent camping at a state park in southern Ohio. On the evening of our first day a group of loud and obnoxious partiers moved into one of the campsites nearby. I hate those kinds of people, because they care nothing about others. After all, we go camping to get away from the noise and stress. Well, those people brought loud music and loud partying into the woods. The park rangers even had to go over there a couple of times to try and tone it down, but to no avail. We decided that we were probably going to have to cut our outing short because of those assholes. However, succor came in an unexpected way.
It was late. The kids were in their tents asleep and us adults were all sitting in lawn chairs around the fire-pit shooting the bull and drinking a few beers wondering if the party would eventually wind down and the idiots go to bed.
Suddenly, my friend called out: “CAT!” “POLECAT!”
And there, sauntering into the middle of our campsite, strode a skunk about the size of, well, a large housecat.
I called out: “Don’t anyone move! Don’t do anything sudden and we’ll be okay!”
We all sat there quietly while mister skunk explored. My can of beer was sitting on the ground right next to my chair. Mister skunk walked right up and sniffed at it. Then he looked straight up at me as though to ask: "You got an extra one of those, mate?". He walked around a little more. He checked out the cooler, then the fire-pit and even walked over to the entrance to one of the tents. (Luckily, the door was zipped shut.) Then, I guess he got bored and walked off into the woods. After his departure, we all laughed a bit, but mostly we breathed a sigh of relief. Ah, but things didn’t end there. You know where this is going don’t you.
About 15 minutes later there was a loud shout from Camp Idiot. I heard a male voice cry out and then a chair being thrown! And suddenly – Fire in the hole! - followed by complete pandemonium!
Even though we were upwind we still got a slight whiff of eau-de-skunk. Yep, they had done it. And mister skunk did what nobody else up to that point had been able to do. He cleared them all out! I’ve never seen a group decamp as fast as those idiots did. And just a short while later, the very slight eau-de-skunk had dissipated, and and for the rest of our time there we enjoyed blessed peace and quiet. (Camp Idiot remained unoccupied for obvious reasons.)
Mister skunk never returned, but all of us agreed that if he came back, we were going to offer him a beer.
That must be some kind of exotic western skunk. The ones in these parts are black with two white stripes from the head back to the tail. The posture is the same, though. [rocketride]
spotted skunk, they were common when i was a teenager not so much now, i think they were especially stupid because they often got stuck in things. that handstand means it probably too late to run.
There's a pair of skunks in my neighborhood that are almost all white. The only black fur is on their legs.

ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only person who liked that diffused skunk odour.
DeleteReminds me of good weed.

This recipe works great as I have border collies that like to herd skunks.
DeleteMy Lab will most certainly find it.
ReplyDeleteI had a German Shepherd would find it also....twice! That dog would listen to every command but went brain dead when he saw a skunk.

ReplyDeleteEl gato del pew! Or fart kitten.
DeleteThe skunks I'm familiar with will pound their front feet as a warning before they get serious. That's enough for me to make tracks.
