Not too long ago someone said deer don't eat grass. I beg to differ...
I've seen deer dig through two feet of snow to get to the grass. Grass
is a favorite food for deer but when hungry they will eat most any
plant.... they will even eat stale pizza, sauce, cheese, and
pepperoni. I tossed two slices of week old frozen pizza out my window
not ten minutes ago, just looked, it's gone... could have been deer
but probably birds. Birds have telescopic vision, they can be high up
in a tree a thousand feet away and rarely do they miss me opening a
door or window, the crows will be swooping in before I can close the
door behind me... and the larger crows (there are three sizes) can fly
off with a whole slice... crows are smart, they know to fold a slice
of pizza in half making it more aerodynamic. I think the ravens can
take off with an entire large pie... and don't mess with them, those
big black *******s carry switchblades. Once upon a midnight dreary. .

All sorts of critters swipe cat food, possums, coons, even crows and
blue jays... I'll shoo them away with a broom... but I don't mess with
the skunks, if a skunk wants your dinner you'd best let it... they
will spray you and you'll schtink for a month, a semi truck load of
Febreeze and a hundred showers won't help, tomato juice is just an old
wives tale, best to burn your clothes and become a hermit.

I used to feed a neighbor's cat on my front porch and he would inevitably
leave a bit of dried cat food in the bowl. In just a few minutes there
would be birds all over my porch snatching up the leftover food. I
stopped doing that as the excitement of beak smacking cat food excited
so many of them they were pooping everywhere. Any leftover food I'd
toss out in the side yard. Problem solved.

Do you ever watch Dr. Pol on the NatGeo channel? A while back a woman
brought in her terrier that has chased a skunk under a shed. The dog
got sprayed full on in the face and he was suffering seizures.

There's something in the skunk juice, when you get a massive dose like
he did, that inhibits the blood from carrying oxygen. They weren't sure
he'd live but with treatment he was out of danger.

Funny story and lol! In real life, skunks are friendly wild
animals. They only spray when they feel threatened. I have a
friend that adopted a baby wild skunk. Never been decented and
never has sprayed her. If you go to visit, skunk pet won't spray
you either unless she senses a threat.

I've been to her house several times. Skunky immediately runs out
to greet me. I start slow, offering my hand to sniff. After a
tiny while, she will climb up on me and I can hold and pet her.
Very friendly.

I threw out two large pita bread slices yesterday, about 10" diameter. It was fun watching two squirrels trying to run up trees while holding the slices in their mouths.

here's my favorite skunk video. Turn up your sound all the way so you can hear them tallking.

Unfortunately, I didn't watch that because my laptop sound card
is ignored. One thing I know though is that ferrets remain silent
all their lives...so you would think. But they actually do talk
but very silently..like barely audible murmur sounds. Only sound
I had ever heard for years was a loud hissing sound (like a
snake) when one ferret was annoying the other.

Once it was just Mia and I, she would often come close in bed,
touch her nose to mine to get my attention then either use ferret
sign language or very quietly murmur something. After several
months, and much trial and error, she had taught me much of the
ferret language. Once she got my attention, just facial
expression had about 4 meaning. I want a drink of your water. I'm
hungry. I want to play. I need help getting to the bathroom...her
poopy papers in the cage.

The very silent murmurs also had many different meanings.

I'll definitely start with a head's up knowledge of communication
with my next one or two.

I would have been there so fast. I lived in a neighbourhood at the
bottom of the Niagara Escarpment and walking around there at night you
would be almost guaranteed to run into skunks. A friend of mine once
got sprayed right in the face with the stuff.

I dated a girl who was staying with her aunt and uncle who lived a few
blocks from our house. One night I drove her home and was "saying
goodnight" to her a little too long. The front porch light came on nd we
could see through the opaque window that her aunt was getting ready to
take the dog out. We also saw that there was a skunk on the porch. I
was tempted to honk the horn as a warning, figuring that the aunt would
immediately open the door and get sprayed.... and I could claim that I
did it as a warning.

My ex absolutely resents taking advice from men, no matter the
circumstance. There was a skunk in her back yard and our son told her in
no certain terms to get a professional to get rid of it. She ignored
him, predictably, and got sprayed! (:-)

Good try, Cheri, but you are no hunter.
When young, I had a 16 gauge shotgun and went deer hunting two
times. Luckily, no deer were killed. People often hunt deer with
shotguns. You buy "pumpkin ball" aka "deer slug" ammo. It's a
normal sized shotgun shell but instead of small pellets, it has
one huge slug of lead...even sticks out beyond the shell. Very
deadly for fairly close range.

Used often for deer hunting and works well.
The one I could have shot, but decided not to, would have dropped
immediately. A deer slug is about 1/2" diameter and maybe 2"
long. Very deadly.

I hunted all my young life, probably more than you ever did, that being
said...I never knew anyone, ever, that hunted deer with a shotgun, but maybe
y'all were bad shots and had to get close. LOL

I am not a deer hunter but there are lots of deer and deer hunters
around here. The bush is thick enough around her in the fall that you
don't often see deer at a distance.

Shotgun only by *law* in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana,
Maryland, New Jersey, Massachuetts, Delaware, Maine, and Rhode Island.

Lots of people would. You can't shoot large calibre rifles in this part
of the province, but there is a shotgun season for deer. You have to use
SG or larger shot.
