HEAD0001Better not shoot a shunk here in WV. If the farmer finds out you shot a skunk here, you will never be invited back. But I guess you could not leave them in your garage?? Tom.

HEAD0001The main reason farmers want ground hogs shot is because of the holes in the field. And to some respect the loss of hay, but mostly because you can break an axle in a ground hog hole.
The second worse thing in a hay field is Yellow Jackets(and snakes). Skunks eat and dig up yellow jackets(and eat snakes). But they do not normally burrow holes out in the open. So farmers like skunks, or at least they do here in WV. Tom.

First off-I consider that a compliment. I have been all around this country(all but 3 states). And from what I saw and heard-I like it here. I also liked a few of the western states but unfortunatley the western states are being run over by the tree hugger's, I can still cut a tree in my back yard.
Back to skunks. Skunks are harmless around a farm. And they do keep the bugs and rodents trimmed down.
If you have ever bailed hay before, and ran over a Yellow Jacket hole, you would understand.
I will admit I liked Alabama. I went fishing a couple of times on Lake Eufala. I won a couple of trips with Mann's bait company. "There's good people in Alabama", Tom.
