the direction it had come..lol Cute little fellow.

I figure this must be a male skunk who marks his territory because I can tell how far away he is by how strong the scent is and I find his holes in my lawn. Took me a while to figure out what was doing it. You may be right but in this case my nose says your not...also the smell is strong only as long as it is here. When I wander the place the next day I get nothing, no residual odor.

I hope I never have your experience with skunk wrangling or your reasons to learn...lol

Thanks for sharing, very enjoyable.
