Season doesn't open here till October 25th.
I've picked up a maybe 8-10 roadkill but not sure of the worth.
Thin leather compared to what you've been showing but some have nice tails.
I haven't put them up yet they're all skinned and frozen.

Is your regular season open or are they considered a nuisance animal where you live?

And yes these 70-80 degree days for weeks on end suck. Were also in a severe drought
Haven't gotten a roadkill in 2 weeks now. I did have a flurry of them for a bit

skunks are open year-round, here some of the big ones look good even nice belly, the news is said that everything is early because of the smoke this summer, every few days of sunshine, this summer someday seem like we lost a few hours of daylight because it was so bad all these skunks are from people's yards

Good looking skunks, I've been after them a bit. I have a chest freezer at a farm about half way through my line and everything in the truck when I get to that point gets put in until I'm done for the day. It is not enough time to freeze but gets the chilled and keeps the flies off. I skin as soon as I get home and have been freezing the hides until it cools down enough that I can flesh and not have to worry about hides drying with bugs and flies on them. Sure is alot more enjoyable getting after them in a t-shirt than dealing with frozen ground.
Good luck

They are really moving around. Saw plenty of fresh road kills on the way to work this morning.
