Skunks are on the move now even seen a few road killed ones I had several calls last week. One guy said I had one but when I got there I had two one not five feet from the other one.

Another guy called said he had a skunk so I go take care of that one and reset re-bait it. The next day he calls and asked if I got that one yesterday I said yep, he says there’s one in the same trap.

A couple good hides on a couple of them going to be up into the 60s by the weekend they should be moving more. They seem dehydrated now lacking body mass I had to switch to new syringes as the used ones were not penetrating the hides like when they are solid. Picked up a smaller one the other day it was pretty lightweight.

I bet a blind man could find your skinning shed. Been in the 60s here last few days they are really moving.

How are the pelts on them this time of year.Do they get rubbed or do they shed?
Or are spring skunks prime like spring bears?

A quick stroke of the tail will tell you when they are done for the season they have a few more weeks I’d guess, I test every one this time of year.

What are you looking for stroking the tail-shedding hair?
