Oh Man! This is one of my big fears on the MUP, that and Porcupines.

I know, there are Porcupines, have had 2 near misses, and I also know there are some skunks around too.

While it's technically possible to run into a bear or cougar, the chances are so remote... I've come across deer and coyotes, they're not a problem. The skunk though... I really dread that.

Has anyone seen a spotted skunk? They're pretty rare, but if you do.. know that they spray by doing a handstand, ( no really! ) and can get you from 30+ feet!

Sorry to hear of your lousy day.
