I've shot and killed well over a hundred in the 30+ years we live in the country. They just keep coming. Wife and I typically get up during the night for a bathroom call and scan the yard with a spotlight. They love the 3-4 am hour to be out digging in the yard. .22 mag takes care of the issue. We also have possums digging, squirrels digging, and now a skunk in the old shop building we use for storage now. Keep the mower in there. I smelled a skunk about a week ago in the area of the old shop but blew it off as they are always around. We were gone in the RV all summer, and when getting home, noticed rat crap all over the west end of the shop, so set a trap and killed it. The rat crap had disappeared, so I'm thinking it's trapped in the shop living on the rat poop because today as I was getting on the mower, the skunk came out behind some scrap Iron in the corner and went back in. Bailed off that mower while running and got out of the shop. After a few minutes, figured it had settled down and went back in to get the mower out leaving the garage door open. Went out for dinner tonight, coming home after dark, so hopefully it left the shop. I'll set a live trap in there tomorrow and make sure before putting the mower away. The suggestions to trap dillers using boards to direct them is what the Oklahoma trappers association recommend.</blockquote>
