I dont often get a whiff of the local skunks unless they have recently sprayed. They dont stink all the time, but you'll get a faint odor if the wind is right.
Some more houses are due south from me and 2 doors down the guy has a shed on planks and a lot of junk outside.
I'm not even getting the whiffs of him anymore.
The new "threat" will be easier. A squirrel is raiding the apple trees and hit the sweet corn in the garden. I have a trap out for him since I'm at work all day.
