After a busy city life when I visit to the farm house in my village for a vacation what a pleasant atmosphere -fresh air every where, songs of birds, beautiful valleys silent nature and makes a feeling what beautiful this earth is and on return has a feeling that something is lost from my heart .this was my experience in the early childhood. now after about 30 years there is no such lovely things to be noted. all remain sweet memories . Feel happy that I was born earlier

Everything changes but come over here and you can smell fresh horse poo, skunk perfume,
and other fresh organic scents.

raju i know exactly what you mean,i will heading back for Pakistan soon to my country home which i had built in 2005,i actually designed it and laid the first brick

i know you will be across the border and both our countries are relatively similiar,only thing that hits all of us is the horrendous heat which we will have to bear until november

but despite that i too love that fresh country smell,growing your own veg and stuff,keeping chickens and goats..

these are any way better than the poisonous gases coming from factories and automobiles and sewage smell caused by excess population

you are right because the village of our India are living according to the traditional way and they are living healthy life..
Besides that we are living the unhealthy life in the city because we are not doing any hard work as people do in the villages.. We are busy in our daily life and increasing pollution and global warming day by day and not getting the fresh air and environment and other things naturally like village and village people... And they are more happy than the people living in the cities.....

There are plenty of skunks here.

I SEE them more in the winter and I SMELL them more in the summer.

They're very healthy here on my property because they steal the cat food.

When I feed the outdoor cats, I am feeding everybody.....skunks, squirrels, birds, raccoons, red fox's, possums, stray cats......

I often sit at my window & watch these guys (the Australian white ibis) rummaging around the front lawn (and also through the rubbish bins):

Yes the atmosphere of villages here also has changed with increase of garbages, plastic wastes, stray dogs and cats making a feeling that city life is better

I hope you'll Section skunks are any pitfalls or traps can not be put up for them??????

I have to say that since I have been here in NC I have not seen or smelled a skunk in over 15 years. I really don't miss that because growing up in Maine we had them all the time getting in the barn or in the garage. I hated sniffing that when we would drive down the road and someone had hit one, the smell stayed with you for about 3 miles. Nasty as heck, and that smell was so horrid. My brother had one chase him once at the dump. Was funny as heck.

I don't smell them but rarely and when I do, it is faint. I guess the reason why I rarely see them in
the summer is because they come more to finding food.

It's in the cold months of the winter that I tend to see them. The cats rarely eat all their dry cat food
and some times I will look out and see a skunk eating it. Kind of funny.

Skunks are actually cute creatures. Well, some of them are. There are various breeds.

I guess in the winter the ground being harder they can't forage for food as well.

They don't bother me and if I go outside with one out there, it just runs off.

I think it was a couple of summers back, after winter, a lawn mower I had in a leanto, was started up
and a skunk had been under it. I guess it had made a warm place for itself during the winer. Well
starting the mower up got it some how and it run off. Hours later I noticed it wobbling across the lower
grounds, then it come up by the pond and finally up near the back of the house. It was barely alive
and in pain. I had my ex husband, kill it because it was suffering.

Crikey! You could fit the entire population of one & one-third Australias inside of that one super-metropolis! And Australia is about the same size as the Lower 48/contiguous United States.
