A little scare



It's a little blurry because I had to zoom in on a phone camera and it was 11:00 at night. But yes, that is a BIG skunk. In my yard. When I pulled in from work. One ran around the neighbors house as I pulled in the drive way, but this one stayed. I thought, "Okay, I'm not getting out." "EVER". Because the stupid skunk just kept eating. He would raise his head and look at me and keep eating. Then he would walk toward the car and stop and eat. Then he would turn sideways and stop and eat. I sat in the car. I flash lights on bright. Nothing. Turned them off. Nothing. Turn them on again. Nothing. THEN, I honked my horn which I am sure my neighbors did not appreciate. But nothing. So I watched and when he turned facing to eat, (I didn't want his back end pointing in my direction) I put my bag on my arm, turn off the car lights and made a run for it up the steps and into the house. Once I was safely in, I locked the car alarm for the night and waited for the smell I knew would fill my world. But amazingly enough, he never did spray. I looked outside about an hour later and he was still there happily munching away. The whole thing was weird.

Glad he was more interested in eating your grass than spraying you or the car!! Wow! I'm also glad you saw him before you walked up on him!! Whew!

Wow! Just wow! That is a huge skunk and you had two of them! I would have reacted the same. Here I am dealing with a snake in our yard and he won't go away. Scared to go on the patio.
