[AT] O.T.--shootin' skunks (357 vrs 38)

[John Wilkens]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!  I haven't tried the tomato 
juice under the tail yet!  Think I'll let that one pass!  One thing I 
did was throw up a very temporary chicken wire fence between back 
porch and and far corner of the yard that channels them away from the 
house but keeps them in the light.   I wait until they get almost out 
of the yard light before shooting.  I tried taping a flashlight under 
the shotgun barrel for this night shooting but it was throwing my aim 
off too much.  All in all though, "life on the farm" is great!      John
