Skunk mating season is another sure sign that spring isn’t that far away.
I’ve noticed that the stench of skunk is now quite common along the highways. During the mating season, the skunks are much more excitable, and they are much more likely to spray at this time.
They are also on the move much more than normal, which means that they are much more likely to be hit by cars.
As I’ve traveled down some rural roads this week, I’ve the skunk odor has filled the air, and I’ve actually seen the skunks that have been hit by cars.
The skunk has a gestation period of 66 days, so the young will be born in early May.
