I was walking outside my wall heading to the gate after a walk with one English mastiff, one dachshund, and one sister when I detected the first sign that something wasn't right. My other English mastiff, who was left at home, was barking rapidly. The mastiff I was walking pulled me inside the yard as soon as the gate opened. She wanted to make sure her friend had backup.
There in the driveway was a very worked up hundred and ten pound dog barking at a rustle beneath the ficus trees. Illuminated by my Solarforce L2 equipped with an LF EO-9 was a creature. It was a furry black and white thing, but it wasn't my cat. That's not good.
Skunk!
My light was overheating before this started, and I had three dogs and garage to secure. I handed my quark mini 123 ww to my sister so she (She never brings the light I gave her for her birthday.) could keep track of the skunk while I took the mastiff I was walking inside. As I walked inside, I mentally went through my lighting options. Within seconds I made my pick. A quark 123^2 ww tactical, already set to high and max (whew:thumbsup
, and an eagletac m2xc4 nw would do.
It took some battery swapping since all but two of my 18650s were sleeping in the refrigerator but a minute later, I emerged from the house to finish my securing operation. My mom was holding the remaining mastiff to prevent her from attempting to play with the furry thing. That dog is a party girl. She wants to play with everything. I didn't want to get sprayed; so I asked my sister where the skunk was located. It was no problem lighting up the skunk with that m2xc4. Now that I knew I was hopefully out of range, I put the leash on the remaining mastiff. I gave my quark 123^2 to my mom so she could see and went along with my dog to close all the doors to the garage. I didn't want that place smelling like :green:.
With the garage secured and the skunk last spotted behind the garage in the far corner of the yard, we all went inside. As in all my encounters with skunks, we all felt a little.
