Skunk and 100W Hotwire Light

[zehnmm]

A short while ago I went into our garage near duck when the garage door was open. At the door edge a skunk was trying to get into the trash. Yelled at it and waved my arms, thinking that if this thing hid in the garage we were going to be in big trouble. It was unphased by these actions.

Well, just for the heck of it, I grabbed one of my hotwires, in this case an Osram 100W bulb in a bored FM 3D body with 12aa batteries. Shined the light at the skunk and it ran out of the garage and kept running to the woods in the back of the house!

My conclusion of this for you who are trying to justify your hobby: we have a new practical use for our obsessions.

In best humor,

Steve

you cooked what with your USL!?

very impressive, now we just need to get animal control to buy some stocks on these lights lol.

In all seriousness though, if theres a skunk around your house that intrudes frequently, might want to call animal control to set up traps and have it relocatedoo:

I don't have a 100W hotwire...I have but a mag85

Skunks and Racoons are notorious invaders. I always scare them off with my hotwires or aspheric mags....but the only thing that has resolved their garbage can attacks is one of those large 96 gallon hinged top Schaefer cans that our city issued.

So the skunk didn't like the bright light.

What about the duck?

My dad got one of those from work because they didn't want it any more. Now it just sits under the deck uselessly. Any way's raccoons and skunks don't go through our garbage because they are to full from all the food my mom feeds them.:twothumbs

So which did Dad bring home? A skunk or a racoon?

(Or a duck?)
