Got an old timer that skins stuff out in his small garage in town here, does all the dogs or cats that I keep for myself so I give him things like badgers, coons and skunks for his efforts. One day I dropped off two skunks in garbage bags and I swear to God that he skinned those in his house and possibly ate them. I came by a week later to get an auger sharpened and I could still smell the skunks and he asks me if I've seen any more because "they are sure getting scarce" I'm pretty sure he ate them. I'll have to ask him this winter, don't want to get too close, the dude must eat a bulb of garlic a day, he's 84 so why not.
