I've never seen one while in the woods. I see them on rare occasion that have gotten run over in Alabama. I saw tons of them while I was in Kentucky. They apparently committed mass suicide on the Kentucky roadways.

There was a family of them living at Lock 17 on the Warrior River way back in the late 70's early 80's. We used to camp down there and always had them coming into camp looking for food. I haven't seen one since...

We're covered up with polecats in N bama. Everywhere. I was going duck hunting Sunday morning and saw what I thought was a light brown paper bag crossing the road. WHOA THAT IS A SKUNK! swerved like hell to miss it. Thank God I did. It was on Sand Mountain if that tells you anything.

See them All the time around here. Had an ole timer tell me once that once you start seeing an increase on dead skunks on roadways that the deer rut is firing up too. He said the skunk rut and deer rut coincide. I’ve never researched it but have noticed more dead skunks during January.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

Skunk rut is about to bust loose too. In past years I've always seen roadkilled skunks when the whitetail rut was going on. Haven't seen it this year and I haven't seen the usual signs of the whitetail rut like I normally do yet. I've been seeing a lot of does in the past 10 days and not many bucks with them

Over the last couple of weeks, we've probably had 50 ran over within a few mile radius of our house. They're everywhere.

When I was in scout/sniper school, my spotter and I were doing an orienteering exercise (overland navigation). We came to a big tangle of brush, and Rusty thought he could go straight through it. He got down on his hands and knees and stuck his head into the brush...right into a skunk's ass! Fortunately for him, when it "sprayed", it came out more like a wad of snot...hit Rusty right in the eye, but didn't stick and bounced off. It still smelled like skunk, but it could've been SO much worse for Rusty than it was!  We have one spot about 2 miles down the road that seems to be where all skunks around here go to get run over. Almost every one I've seen around home has been in the same spot, give or take 50 yds.

When we lived out in the country a whole family of them would come by and eat the cat's food. Very entertaining to watch. Often thought one would make a neat pet.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.
Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
