this has indeed occurred to me

Oh fine: just be all natural and stuff. Don't let CJ have his fun.

Hey, skunks are cute.

well, the other method I know of is similar. but it involves me peeing around the perimeter of my yard....

so...while that might be the most entertaining option involving much beer and some less than accurate marksmanship on my behalf (in that particular state), I think I'll try NA's option.

so with that. ordered....thanks Lisa.
with luck it'll keep the Opossums out too...although theyre less....obnoxious

I almost had a pet skunk for a while. She was young and cute. She would visit with me through a screen door. She grubbed out under the bug zapper. I even named her Penelope. You could be outside with her, and she never raised her tail. When we had our nightly talks she would be less than 3 feet away. Unfortunatly the Old People did not find her a suitable pet. We caught her in a cat cage and had her relocated to a large park by the river. Even then she never sprayed. The next skunk was a very large, easily upset male. After the encounter with him the SPCA made it clear that they would not be back for skunk removal.

mmm...well the last one we had, while indeed cute....was not hesitant to disburse their biological deterrant with abandon. had to go. $100 for a capture and relocate....worth every penny.

I'll try Lisa's idea first this time.

Umm... just remember, the cheapest property in Anaheim will be in the cheapest part of Anaheim. (It's no Santa Ana, but Anaheim does have its seedy underbelly)
