Anybody know anything about Skunks?

[BIG JOE]

Its an on-going battle about befriending these critters. I can't say alot, I like feeding the birds in the winter and I have taken care of a few baby raccoons, etc over the years. I'm the guy who will stop, throw on a heavy glove, and grab a turtle by the tail and make sure it gets across the road. Thats just my nature. That being said, I wouldn't have a problem with a fox setting up light housekeeping around here any "thinning the herd".

X2. My sentiments exactly.

On Edit ? Moth Balls DO work, but as I remember it.. They buried some of'm

I've never seen a flying squirrel, that sounds like a PITA.

Yes they are a PITA. Here's a link that describes them: Nebraska Game and Parks Commission - Wildlife Species Guide - Flying Squirrel

"Anybody know anything about Skunks?" I know Polecats stink when they spray and I have heard they carry Diseases that you don't want your pets to end up with. Get rid of them.

Skunks are high in cholesterol, Crumm. Their not part of my heart-healthy diet.

Invite the neighbors over for the fry then.
