Mystery odor

[Patton]

Any action on night one?

Might still be a fox. Skunks don't spray for no reason. Put a TC out.

We have foxes occasionally. They don't bother anything other than eating the grackles that Zach kills and maybe a squirrel or two. I'm happy to leave them alone. Skunks are a different story. He gots ta go.

What I'm saying Shane, is that skunks don't walk around spraying in your yard for no reason. If one sprayed within 50 feet of your house, there would be no doubt in you mind what happened. Fox, do have a far less pungent but similar smell as a skunk, and may be coming around at night marking his territory. This will give you the constant odor in your home.

I didn't realize that a fox would smell like a skunk. Could be that too. A trap will catch either one, hopefully. I'll put a trailcam out too.
