Message: <blockquote data-quote="Davy Crockett" data-source="post: 298818" data-attributes="member: 367">Those damn skunks ,    About a week ago one morning I set a bag of garbage just inside the walk in door to the garage and opened the overhead door and started a pot of coffee and was going to run the garbage out after the coffee was done.    We have a step down to the garage and I was still half sleeping and in my housecoat I looked down on the way out the door and there's a damn skunk in the garbage.  I caught myself and jumped back spilled my coffee on it and hid behind the door watching and the dam cat brushed my leg on the way out the door and I jumped again.    They had a stare down in the middle of the garage and Knucklehead put the run on the skunk and the skunk turned around and put the run on Knucklehead and he came running back in the house.     I got dressed and looked around the garage and couldn't find the skunk anywhere so thought it had ran outside.     A while later knucklehead came in the garage and was looking under the freezer and wouldn't leave so put him back in the house and could hear the skunk under there.    There os only like a 2'' gap where the kickplate should be and it squeezed under there. I collected my thoughts and grabbed a fishing rod  and tied on some some smoked turkey in a baggie and set it in front of the freezer and sat in the pickup a ways away watching with my binoculars , His head was bobbing and he was trying to get out but was stuck under there.     it took him quite a while to get out and he went straight for the turkey and ran under the welding table with it and was snagged so I had to go in and get it loose and put it back in the middle where I could see it and the second run I started reeling and he lifted his tail every time I drug the baggie,   He went for it and grabbed some of the bait and went in the corner and ate it.   I was watching him and it took a good 10-15 minutes to eat it he held it in his paws like a coon would .    He finished that peice and went for the bag again and I was quicker this time but every time I pulled it towards me he would lift his tail , Finally I had it outside and kept teasing it closer to me and he lost interest and checked out the raised garden and took off out in the yard.    The wind was wrong so I didn't dare shoot him but I followed him to an old brooder house so at least now I know where he resides.  No smell in the house but in got my heart pumping when I almost stepped on him.   Been baiting him under the yard light but haven't got a shot at him yet.    I have a live trap but don't want to take a chance .</blockquote>
