remember skunks have big fluffy fur like a cat
and get them wet and they are real skinny

rule of thumb with critters is
if they can get their head thru the hole
they can get their body in there too

The only thing that will eat a skunk is great horned owl. No sense of smell I guess. Mabye try one of those plastic owls. I've always trapped them in a hav-a-heart trap. No sudden movments and cover them with a blanket in transit.

People piddle works good, too. And it's an excellant excuse to wander around the yard with a beer. Just don't freak the neighbors when scenting.

i have kept the deer out my garden....
and theres fresh tracks daily all around it
but they won't venture within...

i make sure the posts get scented
and thats all it takes...
no fancy shmancy trickery...

it essentially establishes your territory
so by pissing down his hole
your making a claim stake.

when you find yourself facing the porcelan god
take a walk instead....

it's also a good place to loose some old rusty nails.

Slingah,

We had skunk in our yard during the day a year ago, I called animal control, they came, killed it and found it to be rabid.
They said seeing them in the daytime, is a telltale to them being rabid.
