Members gspointer Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 What the heck kills skunks? When we got home tonight we smelled skunk, unfortunately not that unusual. When I went in the house it got worse. I was sure the dogs did not smell this morning when we left. (1 dog has been sprayed many times.) I was afraid a skunk somehow got in the house, I searched, no skunk. I looked outside the house, and found a dead skunk about 3 feet from the house. Its head was a little tore up, not too bad though. I was able to spot 3 areas where it sprayed and 2 depressions where it had melted the snow. There were no obvious signs of a fight. So, what the heck kills skunks.

Members nAmzrTakin Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Dogs maybe? Probably not if it sprayed. Not a cat. Alien vs Predator vs Skunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gspointer Posted December 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 A local hunting forum thinks it was an owl. I think that is probably it, we have a few large owls that hang around our house quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BeeTL Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Other skunks. Sounds like a "Family" job, if you know what I mean. Someone was sending a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members james on bass Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Other skunks. Sounds like a "Family" job, if you know what I mean. Someone was sending a message. That's funny. Quite coincidentally my wife and I were just discussing this the other night - what exactly is the predator of a skunk? Owl makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is probably it, we have a few large owls that hang around our house quite often. An owl wouldn't give the skunk a chance to spray. The skunk wouldn't see it coming. Nor would an owl hunt down something as large as a skunk. Also you didn't say it was eaten, you said it's head was messed up and it was dead. An owl would have killed and eaten at least a good noticeable portion of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gspointer Posted December 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Nope, I have killed em with an AR-15, Mini-14, CZ-Brno .22wmrf semi-auto and a Ruger MKII, but I asked all of my guns, they all said they spent all day in their cases, gun racks and cabinets.
