(While it technically is a road I was hiking on it as I don't have a car suitable to drive down it to the actual trail I was after.)
Vegas, beware, it's coming!!
Well the young skunks are using the entire wood piles to stay during the day. One was out in the cat fence tonight and when I shined a flashlight at it it just went under the wood pile. I have not seen any adults.
I think tomorrow or the next day i need to try something new. A radio on all night and I need to get some ammonia and a sprayer to spray as much under and on top of the wood pile as possible. The wood is just too much to move and not with skunks under it!
I'm still keeping the cats in at night and blocking the cat flap.
I guess I need to go to the hardware store for a new sprayer and ammonia.

How's your skunk problem?
We discourage determined wombats with 500g of ground black pepper. Might help.

I'd say the body was about 1" across.

You haven't seen a mad scientist with a striking resemblance to Leo G Carroll hanging around out there, have you?
