Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Trapping The skunk problem

up on the Campfire. The correct answer was to remove the catfood source to get rid of the skunks. It reminded me of when we left some garbage in the garage and I saw the neighbors dog in it. This is out in the country. The next morning I had a gray fox in a foothold trap 50-60 yds. out. The fox poop was obviously all dogfood. The neighbors were feeding the fox and the dog was out scrounging. You ever notice that?

With red fox where I live, they are more common right at the edges of town then they are outside of town several miles. They hang on the edge of town and we even have had a den in town. I'm sure they eat their share of food intended for cats and dogs. They likely also make a few meals out of domestic cats.

Every summer I get a couple calls about raccoons in corn patches. Had someone tell me they saw six come out a chimney in a house that needs torn down.
