What prompted that comment?
One of the nice features of this forum is we can kibitz with one another without causing a damaging rub of any sort. Keeping things civil is an art in itself, my rule of thumb is if you can't say something nice don't say anything!
We reside on the northwest side of Moose Jaw a short distance from the prairie fringe like 1/8 of a mile. This past year we've had all sorts of wild critters visit our area from moose, bear to mountain lion none of which is unusual. Racoons, wild rabbits etc., and the like can become a real pest even thought they are only trying to survive. Can't say I've ever seen or heard of skunks in our area other than the two legged variety who can't read the sign on our mail box (No Soliciting).
