and here is my Yellow Dandy-lion
Smoke 'em!!
And break out the beer, cheese and crackers!!
My Dad used to sprae 'em in the spring when they were spawning and get 'em smoked.
Mom would always bake the smaller ones.

Wayne, I took that photo last Thursday. I "released" it shortly after taking the photo. It's in a better place now...
The smell has mostly dissipated.

That photo made me laugh.
It reminds me of the time I came home from work one day at about 4:30pm to find my lawn littered with baby skunks scattered about! Needless to say, all 8 of them were sent to .22-heaven!

Art, that's why I purposely trapped this one, I was afraid it might be a pregnant female!
First evening I set the trap I caught my own cat!
She was only out for about 10 minutes and probably was only in the trap long enough to eat all the bait. My fault for using cat food for bait.
I released her and reset it. The following morning I had caught a raccoon.
I released it unharmed, I'll probably regret that.. Third time was the charm I had the skunk.
But then I had a "Great, now what?
" thought.

Art, wait, you had EIGHT little stinkers in your yard!? WOW!

Yeah, 8 of the things. Cute as a button. Didn't really like sending them away, but at the time our street was full of young kids, so it felt to be the right thing to do.
All we needed was one of them to get sprayed, or worse yet, bitten.

Skunks on the loose always got the 16ga or 12ga with #6 shot at the farm........I wasn't taking any chances on a misplaced .22 shot (usually in the dark) leading to a pissed off skunk and half of the farm getting "pissed on"!!!!! shotgun made for instant dead and kept all of the smell in one place.
Dad had one spray a bean platform once.......1000 acres of beans later you could still smell it on the customers machine!!!

These were little buggers. You could walk up and just about touch them with the .22 barrel. I think they were too young to spray. Yeah, for the bigger guys, the "scatter gun" would get the call however.

Here's a much better sign of spring. Garlic!
It's actually been up for a few weeks but I finally took a photo.

I used a .22 (Ruger 10/22) on this one. I had a 20ga shotgun and a box of shells with #6 shot handy just in case I had a chance at it before I trapped it.
