Skunk Hunting... Anyone but me???

Har! These are wonderful yarns.....
I'm printing them off for my wife, as she teaches creative writing and can use these in her class. These are great examples of why we should do all we can in the outdoors.
I have had many experiences with skunks but non so graphic and funny.

Thank you.

i had the chance to go skunk hunting with my boss when i worked at a public golf course. it was my first true hunt. we started off with a carry-all utility golf truck, spot lite & 22 rifle. we were having trouble with the skunks tearing up the fairway & my boss was catching heat from the city. the tried catching them in cages but they were'nt getting to many takers. we started the hunt about 11pm at we drove from the utility shop across the #'s 1 & 9 fairway's were we spotted out 1st skunk. i had the skunk dialed in with my bosses spot lite & he locked in on the skunk from a 100 yards out open site. the skunk looked up at us & he shot. the skunk dropped & a mist of gas lit up the air like a mist of fog in the lite. we turned tail & drove back across the two fairways to the shop. we dropped the garage door & hung out in case the police were called because of the shooting in a residental area law. we waited it out for about 30 minutes & then went across in the oposite direction & got another on the bank of a pond. it was a blast i was hooked on hunting. needless to say the fairways started looking real good again.

Although my story isnt nearly as good as these I will share it anyway. I rented a room off a buddy out in the country and he had a bad habit of putting the garbage right outside the door. A buddy was coming to pic me up in the early hours to go hunting, as he pulled up I noticed he wasnt coming in so went to the door and told him to come in for a minute while i was getting my boots on. He yelled back at me from his truck saying I no you dont have a black cat with a white stripe so im staying in the truck cause its sitting near the doorway. I wouldnt leave until he had a view everywhere with his flashlight. Another morning I was heading to work(we also had a problem with stray cats)I opened the door and saw garbage everywhere. I garbage bag started to move so I figured that cats getting the boot, just as I was about to let her rip a black and white tail stuck out of the bag and I was gone. It definatly would have been a good excuse to miss work but not one I want to try.
