But no skunk. Not that we don’t keep sighting them. Two last night in the back forty. Probably the same two sighted the night before.
Our skunk hunter, of Austin’s Wildlife Removal Services (company motto: “Resolving Human and Animal Conflicts”) unfortunately keeps trapping other critters in his wire cages.
He’s embarrassed. We could tell when he lowered his price. Nevertheless, Mrs. Charm is tired of the occasional skunk smell (which the AC air compressor seems to suck inside the house) and, thus, onward!
At the current rate, however, we will have eliminated the neighborhood’s raccoons while leaving the skunks on the loose. Sigh.
UPDATE: Make that 5 raccoons and TWO armadillos. Still no skunk.
MORE: Make that 7 raccoons and three armadillos. Then, four days after we cancelled the contract, we have another skunk sighting. Damn! Wily creatures.
