Looked out the back door last night and see this little guy digging for food,I walked up on him and he started stamping his front feet,no problem,no stink in his gland yet. :laughing7:

I guess determination will keep him going.

Still would have made a good pet. :tongue3:

GOD Bless

Awww, he wants's his daddy. Well if it's wise enough to look for food on it's own without mama leading it around, maybe it's got a good chance of survival? I would think a lot of predators would have a good understanding what a black tail with a white stripe is all about and leave it alone? About the only threat to a skunk I can think of is a motor vehicle. Had the windows open last night and just before I fell asleep I smelled one that failed to get out of the way out on the road. It was pretty pungent and my wife made me get the fabreeze to spray around in the room. At least it wasn't me this time for the need to spay the fabreeze

Hi; Yup, I got sprayed.!!! ::)

God, I stunk for 10 days. Tomato Juice BATH"S" multiple times a day. Lost a set of clothes and a good set of boots. Lord, I wreaked. My windows in my bedroom HAD TO stay wide OPEN with fan"s" going to blow the stink out of the room. I will "NEVER" go near a polecat again.!! :BangHead:

They call them pole cats because their tail points straight North to the North Pole. !!! :laughing7:

When God made those suckers He did it right.!!! :notworthy:

What I'm saying is the Gods honest truth. I was in my back yard having a BBQ and I did not see her. I got to close. 2 seconds later I sure "knew" she was there. Ended that BBQ in 5 seconds flat.!!! :laughing7:

Anyways, I hope you fed him. Cute little sucker. I have a Family of skunks that roam my yard and we all stay back and watch them. Mama has sprayed the neighbors dog a few times. We shut the windows real fast for sure. That dog ain't to bright. Good dog but dumb.!!! :icon_scratch:

Anyways, Thanks for sharing the photo and story WT. PEACE:RONB

PS: WT, I'm gonna hijack your post to start a new Thread. I love to hear the funny animal stories ok. Thanks. :icon_thumleft:
