They're awfully cute...
I remember taking an old tin can off the head of one little fella. My sister was catching the bus to go to California (school trip) at about 4 AM, so I drove in. On my way back, I saw this little dude clunking across the main road between the towns.
4 am,... not really thinking straight. I parked on the side of the road, threw the 4-ways on. and started to strip down. I was really worried that if he sprayed me, I wouldn't be able to get back in my mom's brand new car :biggrin2:.
An old guy in his 70s stopped bc of my four ways, and watched me follow the skunk all over the road for a good ten minutes. Poor guy couldn't get over the curb, because the can would hit the curb and ring in his little ears... So disoriented. Finally I got in the right position and grasped the can between my feet and held on as he stumbled between my legs. He pulled, I stayed still, and the can popped off his head!
He looked at me. I was sure he was going to spray, no doubt about it... He was pretty confused, looking this way and that, then toddling off into the woods.
Funny poor fella. It was really fun, and kinda hysterically scary at the same time
