Skunk rodeo

We had a rodeo of sorts in the barn.....

During morning chores one of the dogs seemed to be overly interested in something in a corner of the barn. Upon investigation we found a skunk backed into a corner and under a pile of old windows.

Two helpers were there with me, and when I told them there was a skunk they were quite excited to see this new creature - until they smelled it.

It took three of us to move windows, set a live trap and coax the skunk into the trap.

After some time we did have success and managed to relocate the smelly intruder to the woods far, far away.

No one actually got sprayed directly however we did have the experience of a bath in tomato juice.
