Wow. Didn't know they had skunks in Florida. Up north of the Mason Dixon line you will frequently see and smell a skunk. This one has extremely long hair/coat/fur. Most skunks I have ever seen had hair/coat/fur 1/3rd that
There's two kinds here. I've only ever seen the other one, a spotted skunk. Not nearly as big as those striped ones like in these pictures.
Just an FYI, the seed ticks are easily dealt with by rubbing them down with ben gay muscle rub and it helps greatly with the itchy after effects.
NO MA'AM Ain't no BenGay going there!
:taz :saluting
Wow, those are some nice photos. The only skunks I've seen are smashed on the road.
The property I hunt here in Hills. county is loaded with skunks. We see one just about every time we go. Last season I was sitting on the ground with my 8 year old girl and it was just before shooting light when I heard something in the leaves to my left. I looked over expecting to see a diller but realized it was a skunk instead. He was only like 5 feet away and closing so I had no time to get up, I just leaned to my right and told her not to move a muscle. Believe it or not , but he walked between the legs of my chair (UNDER my chair) and around the back of hers just sniffing and rooting along and just went on his way. I just knew for sure he was going to smell us or she would spook him and we were gonna get it full force . I have never had a critter, regardless of size make me sweat that bad.
