Me and my dogs have been sprayed by skunks 14 times, the hatred is immense.
We sit outside by the fire every night and hang out 15 feet from where the raccoons and deer feed everynight. Tonight I heard a noise, turned on the flashlight and Mr bushy tail showed up. I grabbed three baseball sized rocks and the fight was on. First two were misses but the 3rd was a solid 60mph fastball in the chest. He flipped over and sprayed the slowly crawled off. I hope the son of a bitch dies. |

I’ve only ever smelled them during PT hours on run days. Patron animals of both FTLW and Campbell

To bad you didn't have some sort of device with you to record the incident.
Story would be great with a 15 sec movie. I was grilling last night and a skunk walked up. We eyeballed each other than he wandered off. Not so exciting ?? |

Bobcats...bobcats are the answer.
Stepped outside at 11 pm, last Tuesday night to find the ending of a battle in the back yard. Could hear something going on just as I got to the door and stepped through. Lights came on and the first thing I noticed was the skunk, screeching and chattering...then I saw the bigger grey body of the bobcat. One paw had the skunks tail on the ground, the other paw had ahold of the skunk just behind it's foreleg, and it had it's jaws clamped on it's back....dragging it chattering, and screeching, out of the lights and into the brush and darkness. I had my smoke and smiled. |

I never have understood the reason some people hate wildlife for just being wildlife, as if wildlife could be any different. Hating them in a way that makes them want to see them suffer.
It’s almost like a lack of some type of intellect. But then anyone who could get sprayed that many times in the first place already makes that obvious. Flame away, so be it. |

“Sticks and stones” are what lets them spray you again. Small grain projectile at velocity will finalize things.

Skunk eating dog shit in yard of trailer.
Shot in head with.22 Neglected to close windows on trailer before shooting. Big mistake. |

Are you maybe thinking you might need an upgrade from rocks after 14 sprays?

Once upon a time, when I was in high school, a friend and I were driving home in my dad's truck. Strangely enough we were both sober. A skunk ran onto the road. I went left, it went left. I went right, it went right. Eventually it went right under the driver's side front tire and exploded all over the wheel well. Oh. My. God. We had to pull over to get some air.
Needless to say, my dad was less than happy. |

One morning, I had to go to work and there was a skunk sitting under my car. I could shoot it, then it would spray everywhere and stink up my car. So I chucked rocks at it until it ran away.

Fourteen times?
That's a problem you're causing. How, I have no idea. I can understand dogs getting hit... but damn. |

We used to have a bunch of skunks around back at work, some of my co-workers would feed them chips and whatnot. They were pretty chill, no one ever got blasted. No curious dogs around, either. |

View Quote Wasps, fuck wasps. I hope they all die. All kinds and all species. And mosquitos. And ticks. We literally don’t need any of them. Pretty much all any of the above do is spread pain/diseases. “But wasps eat pest out of your garden and birds feed on mosquitos” Straight fuck off. So do lady bugs and there’s plenty of other bugs without stingers or Lyme disease for birds to eat. |

I’ve gone decades between skunk sightings. I’ve now trapped and killed three this summer. And saw another one the other night. Can’t explain the increase?
