so,i got a ****in skunk invading my property

[seclark]

bastard shows up about a week ago, coming out of the southwest corner of the yard...right about where the septic tank is(imagine that). it's just taking a couple steps at a time, nose on the ground. i hollered to the wife, "****in skunk's in the yard". she didn't make a big deal out of it, so, wth?

so, i'm sitting on the shitter this morning, scanning through the newest arrival of the "smithsonian", and she yells out, "have you got your gun?" turns out the damn skunk is back in the yard, digging up grubs.

i walk out on the back patio and yell, "yo skunk!!! get the **** out of here!". didn't even act like it heard me. kept digging and shit.

so i went back inside, got dressed and went to work.

i don't think this is over. i mean, i've shot a few critters over the years, but i ain't gonna shoot a skunk in the yard. read somewhere that if you shot them in the head, they wouldn't spray. but i don't think i'm that good of a shot. so, someone's gonna have to clean up a helluva mess. plus the smell for a few days.

i don't think you can trap a skunk...i know i wouldn't.

advice?
