We had to move out feed barrels, hay, tools and it was at this point I was rearranging everything we just moved so, I could have a clear escape route.
My plan was to run like Forrest Gump when the **** hit the fan.
The trouble was brewing just below Critter's feet.
Do you see it?
Still moving stuff out and both of us just kinda had a bad feeling
Do you see THEM now?
We moved the skid and one ran out the barn door towards the back of the property but, this one did not run he stayed in the corner and then crawled back in the skid. We hooked a rope to the skid and drug it out the door and wouldn't ya know what the sucker did. Yes, I am still gaging from the smell. Critter and I escaped a direct hit but I swear that thing painted all 10 acres with it's magic oils.
Before you call PETA we had no choice. We didn't want to do it.
We disposed of the body and soon the vultures did what they do best.
Before you call PETA we had no choice. We didn't want to do it. We found one dead in the barn about a week ago and we have been getting wiffs of the putrid smell but assumed it was just after effects.
Feed and food have been disappearing at an alarming rate and the barn cats have been up at the front barn. and one of us was gonna get hit if we did not remove the problem. Once a skunk finds a feed source they take up residence.
We disposed of the body and soon the vultures did what they do best.I feel bad for the skunk. I hope the other one does not find his way back.
Do you smell that????????????????????
Oh my!! glad that you escaped a direct hit! It is always sad when you have to kill an animal, but sometimes you just have to...
ReplyDeleteLife in the country! I admire you guys for taking care of it, though.
ReplyDeleteAw. :( I like skunks and think they are so pretty. But there is that whole stink factor, which makes it rough. You can live-trap coons who are a nuisance and move them. Skunks...not so much.
ReplyDeleteUgh! You have to be careful...not just for their perfume that they share...but for the threat of rabies. I won't turn you in...a gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do.

'Mornin'! I came right over to see your skunk! I'm glad you escaped unsprayed, but man, that scent DOES linger, doesn't it!!! I CAN smell it from here! I'd have done the same thing - don't feel bad. Us ranchers and farmers and landowners have gotta take care of business. It's either US or the Critters!
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry - I meant no offense to your special "Critter"! I guess he can stay - after all, he's building you a house! Have a great day!!!
