I'm glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.

Walker is first class entertainment, and a fine little guy. I am truly blessed.

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!

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.

Dusty Nethery · February 28, 2011, 04:18:00 PM

No problem at all! I appreciate the info.

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

Thumper Dunker · March 02, 2011, 02:05:00 AM

Thats great .

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.

That story and pic are absolutely precious! Thanks for sharing...

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