We have a family of skunks who visit nightly to snack on fallen seed and the food I put out for the fox. I rarely get pictures of them because I can’t shoot through the window when it’s dark. And yes…. I could go outside, but startling a group of skunks and being the recipient of their liquid wrath simply isn’t worth bathing in tomato juice. Even for you.

This little fellow wandered in at dusk the other night.

And while they’re not great photos, they provide proof.
Proof that this happens.

Skunk poo.
In the deer food.
Now was that really necessary?
River's world.....

The woods look lovely, dark, and deep! At least you are able to recognize a skunk being in the country. I knew a couple of city folks visiting the Catskills and mistaking a cow for a deer in the distance.

Yes, and they did not make any friends in the little town, these city folks.

Think of them as looters paid off by wealthy people living overseas funding or maybe that is fiction, yes it is. Thanks for the laugh.

I wonder if skunk spray is really that bad.

Bad? It’s completely noxious, and oily, and hard to get rid of. The gift that keeps on giving…

Proof that skunks are completely uncouth.
And trust me, you’re smart to avoid their spray. Just as my dogs (and me).

The FDA has a maximum allowable amount of animal droppings that can be present in processed food that it considers fit for human consumption. I wonder what those standards are for deer food?

I’d say much lower since they didn’t eat the grain..

But they don’t eat the grain… just turn it into a toilet apparently.
