Funny thing about skunks... they dont like it if you run at them and scream! We put the trap out to catch a groundhog that has been eating our chicken feed and making a home in the coop. To our surprise, we came out in the morning after setting the live catch cage and we caught this adorable little baby skunk. All was fine, we opened the cage to release it, but it decided to try and run in to the chicken coop. Soooo, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to run at it while screaming "shoo shoo" noises so that it would not go in to the chicken coop. Well, you know what happened next... it sprayed me. uhg! After a day of washing and several showers with tomatos, all is well now. Hopefully next time we will catch the darn groundhog!Sunday, October 12, 2008
