On friday I got permission to hunt three old abandoned houses that a local guy owns. I've been waiting for several yrs to hunt these nearby homes. I always wait for the right time and right place... and I got my chance.
One of the houses is log and built around 1800. The other two are a 1/2 mile away and set on adjoining acreage. They are mid to late 1800's and made of plank.
Friday evening I decided to hunt the older place for an hour or so. I dug an ih and a few wheaties and some junk while I got acclamated to the property. On saturday I hunted the other two houses quicky. This morning I got up expecting rain. It had not arrived yet, so off I went to the older place. I no sooner than got started when I noticed a few plugs laying on the ground. I thought 'what' ? Those are my holes.....NO WAY! !
Im pretty anal about fixing my holes. In fact if you don't tell them, I'll admit to fixing up some of my friends holes. But anyhow, it was them danm skunks. And its not the first time I've seen it. More than a few times I have seen where skunks have dug out my plugs. There gonna give me a bad name!!!!
Also.....I was talking to a friend one day who mows at the sportmens club, where I have detected. He said he saw where I had been hunting and wondered what I found. I said I hadn't been there for months. He said this was freshly done. So I jumped in the truck to go fix somebody elses holes. Got there to find that it was skunks digging for grubs. Hundreds of holes....but not mine. I was getting the blame!!
