Hey! My wife once raised a litter of skunk kits in our basement many years ago. When they got old enough I took them out to a place along the RR tracks where there was an area with lots of groundhog dens. I was stuffing them down a hole and they were coming back out as fast as I stuffed them in. I heard a voice say, "hey bud", I turned to lok over my shoulder and saw a railroad worker standing there and he said "you are freaking nuts". Skunks must be provoked into spraying most times.
