THE SCOOP ON SKUNKS -- HOW TO KEEP THEM OUT OF LAKEPOINT
Posted on Dec 13th, 2011
Skunks are nocturnal, if you see one during daylight hours when they were not flushed out by rain, another animal or unusual circumstances, it is safest to assume they are rabid or have distemper. Call a wildlife professional to trap them.
February marks the start of the adult skunk-breeding season. March and April is breeding season for yearling females. With a gestation period of 7-10 weeks, adults have their young during the first part of May, and yearlings during the first part of June. Typically, they only have one litter a year, with an average size litter of four to six kittens.
Keep your eyes, ears and nose open for skunks NOW! Mating season isn't that far away and we don't want the population to explode.
