This is my second season in this town, and I didn’t notice so many last year. It’s definitely an ideal habitat. Lots of food, densely populated but spread out just enough to provide lots of little hideouts for Pepe to make a safe den. No natural predators either. I’ve not yet seen one of them flee when I approach. These are “stand your ground” skunks. I’ve seen one who stuck his stink parts up towards me from across the street “don’t come any closer bro, this thing is loaded and I’m not afraid to use it”
Luckily last nights spray on my dogs wasn’t so bad, as the critter didn’t deliver the entire payload. Back around labor day my dogs were free in my yard and cornered and killed one - dogs were hit badly.
Last night the skunk was dining on food intentionally left out by crazy cat people for the strays...and rats, skunks and other vermin. My dogs were on leash so the whole thing went down <6ft away from me. I was hit by “shrapnel” and now my suit has to be drycleaned.
