Supposedly skunks make good pets once they've been de-scented. Smarter than dogs, though that isn't a great accomplishment.

When was that? I have an EOD buddy, and if its during his time he may have pictures of it. LOL

This one showed up a while back, he/she,(i,m not going to check), is not too afraid of me and i,ve gotten used to him/her eating cat food. Only problem is when one of the cats scare him at night, I definatly know when that happens, you would think they would learn.

On the Army side we had a squirrel named Patches, I used to have a video of him, he was my welcome committee when I inprocessed into Phase 2 lol.

 

Some Alabama Boy ran him over in the parking lot - it was a huge travesty lol

Like many other wild animals skunk's are known to carry rabies so I don't recommend feeding them or creating a habitat which invites  them to stay around. You really don't want them on your property when their breeding cycle kicks in either. But for all of their ability to stink things up they're a beautiful species.

Patches was the four legged kind...she had been beset upon by a hawk and was saved. Or thats how the story goes

When I was in the CHP Academy years ago, someone went to the Sacramento River one weekend and came back with a turtle about the diameter of a volleyball. So some wiseguy snuck over to Motor Transport and absconded with some of the CHP motorcycle tank decals and put one on the turtle's shell. Well, then all the protests started and signs saying "Free The Turtle" sprung up everywhere, much to the chagrin of the Academy staff. We loved to see a staff officer walking down the hall and somebody would hide in one of the dorm rooms and yell at the top of his voice to "Free The Turtle." The staff officer would then tear the place apart to find out who said it. I heard there were movements afoot to put a small red light and whip antenna on its shell along with the decal, but we graduated before any of that could be done. Our final act of humanitarian kindness was to remove the decal and take the turtle back to the river. The poor thing prolly still hates cops. Edited July 7, 2015 by EssOne

Well there's no way to really run any of them off, since i,ve lived here there's always been some kind of wild animal around, I also have a doe and a groundhog who frequent my property often. Come fall it will be something different, Rocky the raccoon may come back or the Fox. I have had turkeys, deer, and about every wild animal in Tennessee living on my property except for a bobcat and bear. Stinky the skunk my go his own way soon, they always seem to do that.

He and I were stationed at the USN SERE West together. I went back to my regular duties, working on aircraft. He went EOD from there.
