Someone just hit this skunk this afternoon and somehow it ended up in my yard. Haven't seen this fella around though. I think he was eyeballing the chickens.

And yes, my phone cam stinks.

Kinda looks like a civet cat.

Taxi market right there!

sure does look like a civet skunk

I saw one like this the day of my job interview in December... All I could think of was that dead skunk song. I got the job though lol

I don't think we have any civets around these parts. At least I've never seen one.

I had one in my yard this morning like I had never seen. Had a white spot between his ears and eyes and the rest of it was solid black. No other white except what is one it's head.

That's not a civet. You guys are looking at the belly side that makes it look similar to a civet. Can't tell how big he is from the pic, but Jerry is right about the taxi market. Even put up for the auction, it would more than likely bring around 25 bucks. Nice find!

I’m thinking $50-$60 for that one.

Cool

pretty

bear tracker,,,your skunk was called a "star" back in the day. they were the best of the best, and brought very good money. they were a real trophy catch.

Too cool! Get that thing mounted!

Nice.Money come walking right to you.

And in today’s market, almost solid black skunks are the least desirable. How times and trends change.

Actually being as far north as you are I don't believe it is a civit but probably a piebald version of a striped skunk. I average a dozen or so a year in my nuisance trapping business a year. They do give a little break up to a typically boring day. You might be careful if that skunk found it's way into your yard in the afternoon it may have been diseased. In our area distemper has been very prevalent this past year.

I've seen a few striped skunks that look like this hit on the road they are very pretty if it didn't spray I'd say taxidermy market and you could pull the essence. If you knew how I don't
