Sorry....But yes there are still a few around. I have not been home at the right time latly to see if they are still coming from the deck, but I have seen one or two go back towards the deck and then go under. Strange that I can stand right at the edge of the deck while they are out doing their thing in my yard, but as soon as I clap or make a noise they run right toward me and head under the deck. They don't even see me. But last night one came and put his paws on the edge of the deck whee my feet were and started looking up at me. I wasn't too worried as his tail was pointing away from me at the time. then it did a few sniff sniffs and under it went. In my observations, I have noticed the interaction they have with other animals such as my friendly fox. They do not point their butts at the fox but merely stamp the ground with their front paws as a warning. They certainly stand their ground though. But no spraying that I have seen. Tie will tell if they decide to leave. I did find a skunk trap in the Northern tool catalog for 55.00. A no spray type. If all else fails and I have a bigger issue, I'll pick one up. But so far they have not proven to be as troublesome or as stinky as I first thought they would be. Especially being 5 of them....
I don't know if you can see this or not, but I'll post a link to try...
