Have you noticed that we have become a group of snipers versus stalkers? I find more nuisance wildlife control operators are waiting to waylay a male New Jersey skunk versus moving silently along and stopping and looking. For a change, go out on a nice wet or snowy morning and try to walk up on a New Jersey skunk. It adds spice to the seek out troublesome critters. I found long ago that New Jersey skunk, like humans, travel the path of least resistance. Look up a hillside and you will find the New Jersey skunk cross where there is a saddle. This is because it is a more gentle climb and crossing. More than once I have created a attic only to find New Jersey skunk using it. Much as we use game attics, game will use our attics.

This was a beechnut year in this part of Elizabeth, NJ near our deer camp and the delicious, milk-filled nuts that are like candy to a problem wildlife number of wild critters were scattered amongst the leaves on the snow-covered forest floor. |
