Just moved from 40 acres to 13. Coons I don’t mind but the skunk stinks.
Yup. Dillers will tear a yard up. But then again, they damn near eat their weight in ticks and other parasites that you don't want. So I kinda give em a pass. Even though I have holes in my front yard, I haven't seen a single tick in several years.
Like Corgi, I enjoy watching the critters. Recently, at the college where I work (night shift) I've been seeing a little red fox meandering about. We have deer on campus all the time and we even had a family of otters last summer. But I think they emptied out all the fish in the two ponds we have on campus and must have moved on because I only saw em once.
I've had skunks walk into my garage while was out there working. That'll make you do the tighten up. Don't know whether you're gonna get sprayed or bit cause that ain't normal behavior. A BB gun will kill a skunk.
The older I get the more I enjoy wildlife so the coyotes, raccoons and owls can stay. That skunk is my main concern. I was hoping somebody had first hand skunk extermination experience. Looks like I might have to suppress the 300 BO and sit outside.

The armadillos come around every night. Damage so far has been minimal and I can live with it.
i raised a skunk from a kit. it was the ornery est critter.
I have a Aramadillo killing Machine! We got one a week ago, it jacked my yard up three nights in a row! 4th night we or should I say my Buddy nailed his ass! Now it is a big pain in the ass to wash him up if I don’t catch up fast and tell him to let it go. Armadillo’s are fast, but not fast enough for my speed/killing machine!
Been years since I caught one by hand. I did let one loose in a Fire Station one time. It was funny and tore up the day room where I was teaching two young rookie guys not to sleep in the day room!
I know you’re fast enough to do so!
