Dirtyhip Posted June 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2015 They freak me out. I have this phobia of being sprayed. Due to the type of biking I do and where I do it, it is only a matter of time. I saw one this morning. It turned and showed me it's tail. I froze and didn't approach any further. It finally scampered up into the brush and out of sight. My bell helps somewhat, but the twisty nature of the trails might just confuse these little stinkers. It may hear me and run, but only to come back into my path.For now, I still smell nice. In time that may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted June 25, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 25, 2015 I had a Fox Terrier that had one by the neck once. OMG was that nasty. She was dripping wet with spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former member Posted June 25, 2015 Share #3 Posted June 25, 2015 There's one house not too far from here that always smells mildly like a skunk. I suspect one day the cops will raid the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted June 26, 2015 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2015 Never had the pleasure of getting sprayed, but a friend's dog did. Vet recommend douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted June 26, 2015 Share #10 Posted June 26, 2015 I suspect the skunks are finishing off the cat food we put out for the feral cats. Almost every night we can smell skunks. Maybe I should put out less food so the cats will finish it off and not leave any for the skunks? My granddaughter and I were sitting out on the deck by the pool Monday night and I had just told her about the skunks that come by every night, just then the aroma of skunk filled the air. She said she had never smelled skunk before. We decided to go inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
