jerry now do you keep pods until you have enough to do all at once. In cool dry conditions you can stack skunks for several days no problem or just remove the pods and freeze the pods in a glass jar until you have enough to tap at the same time. Podding should be done only with thawed skunks never frozen ones.

Jerry, are you using just one #10 can for your 120s? I have 80 or so #10 food cans from the jail kitchen the plan is to slot them just like a bucket for a 160-220. I’m just planning on using Belisle 110s along with some Victor 120 and Belisle conis I have In the shed. Just one end would be open

I really like it as a cover scent while deer hunting. I saw one hit on the highway the other day. The white stripes were so wide, they almost covered its entire back. Beautiful animal.
Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.

Had a call yesterday on a Pepe, the guy had it in a Havahart cage in his attached garage with cardboard wired over both ends and extra wire going under the overhead door. His plan was to drag the metal cage over the cement floor to get it outside.SMH To make it worse the only light was a single 60 watt bulb in the entire garage so the skunks details were hard to see.
Told the guy that getting that skunk dragged across the cement floor was a bad plan I doubt he could get the noisy overhead door opened without it spraying under those conditions. The skunk was edgy I told the guy this might not end well and to never trap them in your garage it the worse thing you can do.

Any glass jar works in a pinch Ragu, jelly or ball jar think about hunting a deer avoid the neurological system it’s guaranteed trouble.

Found a 22g x3/4 on a 3ml we have for goats. Now where to not cut and what to save. Then where to market.
Have not dispatched yet I would try and get a bigger needle and syringe. The last one I did had over 20cc per pod. You don’t want to have to keep poking if you don’t have to.

I've noticed that the color of the essence seems to be lighter around here in February. Here are two one ounce bottles The lighter one is from a skunk yesterday The darker one from two skunks in the fall The fall ones are always that dark but not so with the February ones. Anyone else see color differences in your extracted essence?
