spring and skunks are here

Well spring seems to have arrived in southern ontario and the skunk population is in breeding mode . People often ask me why did the skunk spray under my deck,porch,shed etc. when he was not disturbed the reason for the skunk odour in the spring most often has to do with two males fighting and competing for a female or a female letting a male know she is already bred and is not interested in him these are generally the reason's for the skunk odour
