So I hear someone/something walking in the rocks RIGHT behind my house...

Those of you who have been to my house know the layout and know my office is upstairs and at the back of the house. Anyway, I hear something right behind my house walking in my rocks. Rocks are in between house and grassline. So I think it's a person up real close to my house trying to get in. So I grab my gun and my dog and run outside. As soon as I get to my side door I grab my dog by her collar, open the door quietly, and creap to the back edge of the house. What do I see? I fucking skunk at the opposite end of the same wall I am creaping around. I turn around, drag the dog (who now wants to eat this uninvited guest into her yard) and get back inside.

The little bastard is still in my yard walking around. I hope it doesn't spray...
 
I want it to move so I can snap a picture from upstairs. But at the same time, that might scare the skunk and it might spray. I just want this fucker to leave!
 
Al, it's probably more scared of you looking like a porcupine than you are of it spraying.

Naw, my hair is getting a bit long and I have it slicked back right now. Been too busy with the work stuff to get to the salon.
 
Have to be careful. My dog and I like to go out and tree the raccons at night but we've had a couple of very close calls with some less than friendly little black and white dudes. Rule of thumb... don't stand still... run like hell. :)

Kinda related story...was walking to the back-building here at work and a possom (I think it was a possom) strolled right in front of me and scared the shit outta me...looked like a damn 20 lbs rat!

Yeah, I damn near pissed myself. I was expecting a guy, a dog, a rabbit, something, but not a skunk. I can't fight a skunk. :lol:

Skunks are pretty territorial & once they like someplace they'll stick around. Make sure they can't get to any trash cans or have any food laying around outside. If they don't find anything it will quit coming around.
Last spring when I lived out east there was a HUGE one living under the neighbors porch, one night I heard something rustling around in the leaves, took my flashlight & found it, freaking thing was bigger than a basketball!!!!
Funny part is about a week later one early morning the neighbor let his dogs out & they found out what a skunk can do..lol

That's great news.
 
When I was a kid my grandmother who was an animal lover had a pet skunk. It had it's scent sac removed. The thing still had a funk smell to it.
I remember my dad had to bring the thing home for a week when my grandmother went on a trip. I hated the bastard.
