Walker and I attended our local club's 3D shoot this morning with a few friends. Everyone shot well and, as always, had a great time.

After the shoot, we were hanging around the truck shootin' the bull when one of the guys who coordinates the shoot approached carrying a target. He walked directly to Walker, handed him the target, and told him it was for such a good job on the course.

A huge smile was followed with an enthusiastic "thanks".

On the ride home, out of nowhere, Walker said, "His name is Squirrelly. He's a huntin' skunk."

I nearly had to stop the truck I laughed so hard. As they say, "Out of the mouths of babes."

Reminded me of when I was a kid and helped a buddy of mine skin a skunk he shot... :eek:
We got used to the smell pretty quick. Seems like it took everyone else a couple of days to get used to our smell.. :dunno: :nono:

Reminds me of when my 15 year old came to me with a dead skunk hanging from his arrow and wanted to know what he should do with it now. He's grown and out on his own, they do grow up fast.

Steertalker,

I've heard it is possible to remove the "stink" gland or sac from skunks rendering them as docile and odorless as house cats. Honestly, I was always very skeptical. Is this the case with the one you are holding?

Dusty,

BTW...cute story about your son. Didn't mean to hijack you or anything.

It's no biggy to "de-skunk" a skunk. If you can get a kitten(baby skunk) when they are very young and descent them they will make you a very enjoyable pet. Just like a house cat...only better. Very playful and loveable!

Brett

PS: Skunks, raccoons, opossums etc can carry rabies without exhibiting symptoms. So make sure you have them tested for rabies if you decide to make one into a pet.

Ahhhhh the skunk, I think the skunk is the essence of everything that is wild. Dusty, that is a wonderful photo.

It never ceases to amaze me how enjoyable this site can be! Do you think you will get to actually shoot the target or is this a bedroom friend? Shootin at it or not he looks like a happy camper!

After supper for the past few nights, Squirrelly gets dragged out to the tree, and Walker shoots a dozen or so arrows at him.

He takes it pretty well. He's a pretty mild-mannered skunk.

Yeah, I'd say "essence" sums it up quite well.

Keeping with this week's tradition, we did a little shooting tonight as well.

Here's one shot Walker was proud of; it was not nearly as dark as it appears.
