SKUNKS!

So me and Chet have always been (since we got married) avid skunk hunters! Mostly cuz we don't want them in the yard!
So it was the first summer after we got married. We were laying in bed one night and the dog starts barking -- barking a bark like someone was outside! So Chet grabs my shot gun-- which lives by the bed! And goes to check it out -- I lay in bed terrified waiting for a gun shot-- I hear one-- holly shit! Here comes Chet back into the house-- I asked him who was it? He said its a skunk-- oh -- get the lantern -- get more bullets. Ok, ok, so I get up grab a lantern - - grab some more bullets. I go running outside-- the skunk is in teh corner of the yard -- and Chet's trying to get a good look at it I'm holding the lantern out-- and holding all my shot gun shells!! Not to bad right-- well we're doing all of this stark ass naked!! Yup not a stitch-- no shoes, no shirt, not nothing! Good thing we don't have neighbors close by huh! Even now when I think of it-- I'm sure it will appear on a Far Side Calendar at some point!! What can I say! REDNECK!

Well this year we've shot alot of skunks fully clothed! Sunday morning we had one in our skunk trap!! (I know bad idea to trap a skunk!) So Chet was just gonna shoot it and be done with it!!

Wonderful Sunday morning activities!



Chet is trying to figure out how to get a good shot-- hmm-- should I climb the grain bin? Nope bad idea!



Take aim and shoot! Make sure you hit the head!



Annie is making sure its dead-- but keeping a safe distance!
I asked Chet now what do you do with it? How to get it out of the trap?
