Q: Do skunks fish?
I had the same problem two weeks ago and I posted the same question.
I know of a skunk in our area but when my fish went missing two days in a row along with potted plants and rocks knocked over I was blaming it on a raccoon. I didn't think that skunks had it in them to be so aggressive. At this point I purchased flood lights that turn on with a motion detector hoping to scare whatever it was out of the pond area. That same night I was patient enough to wait until it got dark to see if the critter will come back. When the flood lights came on I caught the bugger in the act. IT was the SKUNK after all. It made a u-turn when the lights came on and left. I haven't seen any signs of it coming back since I installed the flood lights.

Today, we noticed that one of the potted plants in the center of the pond was knocked over. We have 2 Shubunkins and 2 sliver back koi's. We haven't seen any of the fish all day. It's kinda got me worried. I know skunk smell can travel, especially at night but I don't know. We don't live out in the country but in a fairly populated residential area. Has anyone ever had problems with skunks fishing in their ponds? |
