Interesting; thanks. Oregon does look good for everything except bats. Bats have consistently tested positive in the 5-10% range [of those tested].
Help name seven baby skunks, please

A user discovered seven baby skunks in a storage area and is seeking name suggestions while expressing concern about their well-being and the potential need for relocation. The discussion reveals that skunks are generally unafraid of humans, and there are humorous suggestions for names, including references to forum members and pop culture. Participants express empathy for the skunks and share experiences related to country living, including the challenges of dealing with wildlife. There is a consensus that shooting the skunks is not a desirable option, with suggestions to contact animal rescue for assistance. The conversation highlights the complexities of living in rural areas and the emotional impact of animal interactions.

PF Skunk Activities Report: Final Report
When cleaining the cat box I usually dump the old stuff off the side of the hill near the house. First, this completely gets rid of any odor concerns. Also, by the time it hits the ground it has mostly dispersed; though I wouldn't want to be at the bottom of the hill at the time.
It seems that the other night I threw the cat poop on a skunk.
Right after the toss I was acutely aware of that oh so pleasant odor rising from the ground below. Now that's what I call revenge!
Aside from that I haven't seen or smelled a skunk in weeks. I guess we still have one or two hanging around but they seem to be well clear of the house. The neighbors must have provided homes for the rest.
I think the babies have all grown up and left home. It goes so fast.
