Update: 103!

there used to be a skunk that ran around my neighborhood, and he went out of his way to spray everything...so my neighbor had enough of it and set a trap to catch it (a wildlife reserve type thign was going to pick it up later that day)
with the skunk in the cage we were all no longer afraid of it so we started harrassing it, figuring we were getting revenge for the god aweful unholy smell wed had to put up with for weeks. needless to say the skunk had the last laugh. direct hit from a skunk is not pretty.

Thats still one of the wierdest things I've ever heard. It ranks right up there with the one my dad told me of an ally cat that got into his house via cat door. Long time ago. And he had to hit it with the end of a sawed off pool stick. After that he killed it, but I can't go into details, cuz (well the obvious). See ya!

that wasn't very nice at all.

Naw, he had too. Cuz the thing was CRAZY, it wouldn't let him do anything, that was until he hit it. And after that, well, lets just say he had to do it. My mom was telling me about it, and she was saying that it was better that he did.

I take it you were smart enough to be the one standing behind the skunk.

[mike o'leary]

a skunks spray covers a pretty good area...i think it was me, my brother, and my next door neighbor who got hit. and we were the only people there at the time, so all the skunk had to do was turn around, aim, and spray.

Oh, I know about skunks. I used to live in the country. The funny thing was riding to my house with people. I'd know where a dead skunk was on the road and I'd put the windows down. Always got to people who didn't expect it, wasn't so bad when you knew it was coming and you've smelled it a lot before. Almost as fun as cow tipping.

We used to have a lot of skunks in our neighborhood a few years back. Funny, they don't come out anymore, probably meaning they've moved on.

we get everything in my neighborhood. racoons, skunks, foxes...i remember one time i turned around and there was a racoon not 15 feet from me. which woudntve been so bad except that it was foaming around the mouth.

thats about the time you back off

[mike o'leary]

yeah it is...and start looking for a baseball bat or hockey stick or golf club or SOMETHING. all i could find was my jackknife. i backed off pretty fast.

[EddieMcD]

You know, a knife's a pretty good weapon if you know how to use it.

[mike o'leary]

yeah it is...unless its one of those keyring ones thats got a 5 cm blade...

My old neighborhood was on a river (my yard was the river) and it was about 6 miles from civilization (the fire station and corner store). We had everything you could think of, raccoons, foxes, snakes, rabbits, opposums, deer, and MANY more. Rabbid animals are target practice for kids learning how to shoot or use their knives (decent lenth blades). A knife is not as good of a weapon as a baseball bat or hockey stick. Distance can be a really great thing sometimes, especially from a rabbid animal.

[EddieMcD]

Yes, but some animals can take a hard blow. Not many can take a slice from a knife and a bit of good aim.
