On many occasions I have smelled skunk around here, more than any other place I have lived at. I noticed it most by our front door under our steps and porch. Let me tell you, this is something you can never get used to. On this particular day I got lucky in that respect. This happened about 2 weeks ago when we still had snow. I'm just now getting to posting this.
While I was outside waiting for the boys school buses, I noticed a lot of people acting like it stunk around my house. One of the neighbors was complaining that it smelled like something died in our yard and wondering how I could miss it. I had a bad sinus infection that day and I was so stuffed up I couldn't smell anything. The buses came and I went back into the house. Soon after my other neighbor was knocking on the door complaining about the odor and said my house reeked badly too. We go check everything in the basement, all is well. Then I look out the living room window and this is what I seen. Yes, it is a skunk, it's bottom side just happened to be showing. The animal was injured and spraying all over creation as it was dying. Animal control was called and the skunk was taken to his/'her final resting place. I was watching him die the whole time.
RIP dear skunk. The smell...lingers on at my front door and porch.
How Horrible! I agree you never get used to the smell. We have all woods behind our house, and we get the stench nightly during the summer-sometimes so bad, we have to close the window.
