Les, don't you get tired of all your stuff smelling? And I wouldn't let that happen, when one of your dogs gets rabies, don't complain about it. No way in hell would I let skunks live under any of my buildings. Not a smart idea....

Actually Sid, most rabies is found in Raccoons. I have stomped around outdoors my whole working career and have never seen any type of rabid animal. That being said I do not mess with wild animals. Skunks also eat rats and mice so I don't mind them around. But, then again, my house or dog has never been sprayed either. It boils down to "do what you gotta' do".
