Shooting Skunks.

[Buck]

We had 3 cruising the neighbor hood .The .410 did a very nice job. No more skunks. The trash man hates my *** now.
The 50 gallon barrel works .We had an old cast iron bathtub at the ranch as a horse waterer .All kinds or kritters died in that thing.The sides were to slick to get out.Strange thing is we lost 3 chickens in it and all 3 laid an egg when they drown . I finally put a scrap piece of expanded metal in it so they could get out.Never had another casualty.

Dont know why but the part about them laying an egg made me lol. The wife was asking me whats so dang funny over there.

I just reverted back to caveman days. Had a small skunk on a hill behind the house. Threw a rock at it. Not sure if I hit it or not (lots of foliage there) but it didnt run away and sure wasn't moving too fast. Got a second shot at him - same results. Guess time will tell. If I didnt hit him, he sure wasn't scared at all.

Dang it here I thought this was a thread about skanks....

Got 20 traps out after *****, they're hitting the corn pretty hard, got a few skunks as well. 10' aluminum pole, and a tarp, and a trough of water works good. The ride home with a tarp-wrapped trap in the back of the truck is fun
