The Interpreter Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 When I used to work at the huge Montgomery Wards warehouse, a skunk go inside the building and left its scent everywhere! Was it the CEO? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoChickens Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Growing up I had a friend who had a pair of pet skunks, offensive glands removed of course. They were both very friendly, and loved to be held. Now these skunks came from a pretty long line of bred in captivity ancestors, could make a difference. Also both were female, could have something to do with it as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel_SoB_fan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 One haunt night I was dumping rivertown trash into the Diamondback dumpster. As it was dumping I felt something on my shoe. I looked down and a skunk was on my foot. That was fun. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I547 using Tapatalk now Free 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenageninja Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 As of 2011 they did hire a pest control expert to come in the park at night and try and trap raccoons, squirrels, etc. I think you underestimate the number of these creatures that live out in the woods behind the park. There are almost 200 acres of unused land that they probably live in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 With all of the undeveloped woodlands all around the park, that is prime habitat for wild animals like skunks, squirrels, raccoons and other four legged creatures and even non legged creatures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 As of 2011 they did hire a pest control expert to come in the park at night and try and trap raccoons, squirrels, etc. I hope as of 2014 they hire a bee control expert, seriously!

MidnightBeast Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I've seen a skunk around Diamondback and Rivertown La Rosa's a few times this season. One time I was sitting at a table eating pumpkin pie and some people warned me that he was coming up behind me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 When you had to lock out Diamondback and travel out to the MCBR/hammerhead turn there's always the risk of running into a skunk. I'm not surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 The key to any encounter with a skunk is to not make it feel threaten in any way. That white stripe down its back is a warning to stay away, just like the rattle on a rattlesnake. Otherwise, hope you have lots of tomato juice or what ever it takes to get the perfume off your body!

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 If I had tried to pick up that "white" garbage back that Friday night, I would not have had any problem with people not making a hole for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 There has been an unusual amount of skunks this year at Halloween Haunt, first week i went i encountered a skunk who was standing at the front door of the festhaus, 2 weeks later there was a skunk walking on the rocks while i was standing in the Diamondback line... A week after that there was a raccoon sitting ontop of The Beast vending machines while i was standing in line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
